Notepad++ for Mac
Do you miss your favorite universal editor when working on a Mac?
Good news! Now you can use Notepad++ on OS X Mavericks and Yosemite!
I've put together this wrapper application that allows you to use Notepad++ directly on OS X Mavericks and Yosemite, without the need of a virtual machine. It is made from freely available distributions of Wine and Wineskin with all the settings configured to work from within a single app wrapper.
What's even better, everything needed is contained in this 56MB app wrapper. Mavericks doesn't include X11 and some other bits, but with this wrapper, you don't need to download or install any of them.
Thanks goes to WineHQ and Wineskin and their incredible community, the awesome creator of Notepad++, Don Ho, and all the people that made this possible (neither of these are affiliated with this site). You can share the app wrapper freely and you can make any changes that you wish.
P.S. The program is portable, everything works from within the app wrapper, so it will not leave 'garbage' on your Mac. If you need the Windows version, you can still get it from it's original website at notepad-plus-plus.org
