HN comment orderNotepad++ (and this one here) are based on Scintilla [0]. It's worth pointing it out because it is a high-quality open source code editor component. SciTE [1] is the "official" demo-editor for Scintilla and was last updated on March 9th 2024. The history reaches back to 1999. [0] https://www.scintilla.org/ [1] https://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
I just loaded a 500MB file in NotepadNext. Windows shows Notepad Next using is 1397MB. Meanwhile if I use Notepad++ and load the same file windows shows it is using 586MB. Any ideas why such high memory usage if this is a direct port to QT?
