Long ago I use to use Notepad++ in Linux using WINE. if you actually want to compile it under Linux...it's going to be a lot of work since all the code uses the Win32 API. People have enquired about this in the past...don't know if any actual progress was made. Also, plug-ins would not work and would have to be written specifically for linux if N++ ever did run natively.

In 2015, there is another way if you do not want to install a lot of tools on your Linux OS while exploiting the latest version of Notepad++ Portable-App.
Install Virtual Docker Environment and use my Docker container that is easy to install: https://github.com/marchandd/term_ssh_wine_notepadplusplus
It is not fully operational but should be OK for the majority of your main uses.

Notepadqq is a Notepad++-like editor for the Linux desktop.
It helps developers by providing all you can expect from a general purpose text editor, such as syntax highlighting for more than 100 different languages, code folding, color schemes, file monitoring, multiple selection and much more.
You can search text using the power of regular expressions. You can organize documents side by side. You can use real-time highlighting to find near identifiers in no time.
And it’s free. And open.

I don't know, I've never used it, from years I'm back to window$ because some other software... But you can try it and share your experience with other guys :)

I enjoy using Notepad++ quite a bit.
However, it's currently impossible to use notepad++ on Linux directly.
What I need to know is what has to be done to port it to Linux, and if I could get a team to help me.

You can try Notepadqq http://notepadqq.altervista.org/wp/
Hi rddim,
this looks interesting.
Is Notepadqq a multiplatform or linux-only application?
Best regards,

Hello Loreia2,
I'm not sure, but it's look like only for Linux. I found this editor accidentally.
Does Notepadqq use the same commands as NP++, and is it configurable in the same way - including plugins?
