Improvements in Microsoft Windows Notepad Update

The following are some of the updated that we will see in the new notepad app for windows 10:

Wrap-around find/replace:

Microsoft Notepad Application finally gets the wrap-around find and replace features. In addition, it will also remember your previous selections and will auto-select them when you open the dialogue box the next time. In case you have selected certain text, then it will automatically appear in the search field when you open the find dialogue box.

Text Zoom:

Zooming in the text will now be possible in the new notepad app for windows 10. The zoom option is found in the View-> Zoom menu on the menu bar, and the zoom level is displayed on the status bar. Use Ctrl + Plus to zoom in, Ctrl + Minus to zoom out. Use Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll up to zoom in and Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll down to zoom out. Ctrl + 0 resets the zoom level to default settings.

Line and column numbers with word wrap:

The current version allows displaying the status bar only when we disable the word-wrap. After the current updates, Notepad will be able to display the status bar with the word-wrap enabled as well. The bar is on ‘visible status’ by default. However, you can change the visibility of the status bar from the View menu.
