The experimental build based on CodeMirror looks promising

This is a video showing some basic features of Notepadqq 0.30.3 (you can get it from the ppa).


As you can see, the performance of this build is comparable to that of the qscintilla version. But there’s still room for improvements.

Right now, Notepadqq is using CodeMirror 4.5. QtWebView is behaving well, and the switch to QtWebEngine could at least be delayed. We’ll see as soon as Qt 5.4 comes out.

Hi,
With regards to the Qt paths, I did the following:
1- To compile the archive downloaded with ‘ git clone https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq.git ‘, in a terminal I did
– ‘ PATH=/home/moh/Qt531ReleaseSharedWebkit/bin:$PATH’ and ./configure + make.
– And to find the Qt shared libs for the runtime I modified ‘ /out/release/bin ‘ as follows:
# OPT_QT_LIB_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.3/gcc/lib <== original
# PERSONAL_QT_LIB_PATH=~/Qt/5.3/gcc/lib <== original
# I modified the lib path:
OPT_QT_LIB_PATH=/home/moh/Qt531ReleaseSharedWebkit/lib
PERSONAL_QT_LIB_PATH=/home/moh/Qt531ReleaseSharedWebkit/lib
* To lauch the program I created a .desktop file called ‘ Notepadqq.desktop ‘ with the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Notepadqq
GenericName=Notepad++ with Qt
Comment=Notepad++ made with Qt-5.3
Exec=/home/moh/notepadqt/notepadqq/out/release/bin/notepadqq
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/moh/notepadqt/notepadqq/images/notepadqq.svg
Categories=Programming;GNOME;Qt;

and made it executable and placed it on my Desktop.
Hope this helps.

I meant the file I modified is the shell script ‘notepadqq’ in ‘ /out/release/bin ‘.

There is something I don’t like about this Notepadqq is when I installed Qt 5.3.2 Notepadqq need Qt to be installed at my home folder in a folder named Qt When I tried to hide Qt folder Notepadqq did not work correctly so I hope the developer make the location of Qt editable, Thank you.
