Nextpad++ is a free, open-source source code editor that supports many programming languages and is great for general text editing. No Wine, Porting Kit, or emulation layer is needed — this is an independent native Notepad++ port governed by the GNU General Public License.
Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Nextpad++ for Mac is written in Objective C++ and uses pure platform-native APIs to ensure higher execution speed and a smaller program footprint. I hope you enjoy Nextpad++ on macOS as much as I enjoy bringing it to the Mac. cnckad 2006 8.5 full
