It saves me the severe mental anguish of having to hunt down a “known-good” bootstrap.ini file each time.Īnyway, I like Notepad++ well enough, and Don Ho seems to be a pretty nice guy, even though I was disappointed to learn that he doesn’t actually lead a double life, coding in Paris during the day and entertaining tourists in Hawaii at night.Tab settings in Notepad++ allow you to change the TAB size.

You can change filters, so that only certain file types, e.g.
