Comment on Notepad autocorrected what I was typing for my foreign language exercise

• SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Having QoL features that 95% of people need and use is considered “not working” now? A larger percentage of people would say a text program without a spellcheck or auto correct would be broken.

  This Linux circle jerking on Lemmy has gotten beyond exhausting. Options exist for everyone’s preference, it’s not broken because it’s defaulted on and you’re too stupid to change a setting.

    … On notepad?

    Oh come on, use some word editor if you need autocorrect. Notepad is a quick fast text editor that is mostly used for script editing and small stuff, its supposed to be just a plain text editor.

    Having said that, I will shut up but still think that notepad never needed a rehaul.

      Rehaul? This stuff has been part of the program for decades…

      A text editor should have basic functions, if you just want a text editor, do it in command prompt or a web link entry.

      It’s never supposed to have been a plain text editor, where did you get this asinine idea from?

        Are you thinking of WordPad? Until Windows 11, Notepad has always been plain text.
