## What is Notepads and why do I care?

I have been waiting long enough for a modern Windows 10 notepad app to come before I decided to create one myself. Don’t get me wrong, Notepad++, VS Code, and Sublime are great text editors. I have used them all and I will continue to use them in the future. However, they are either too heavy or look less appealing. There are times that I just wanted to use Windows notepad for things like writing notes or editing config files. So I decided to create a win32 notepad replacement here and try to give it a modern look and feel. Most importantly, it has to be blazingly fast and appeals to everyone.

So here comes the “Notepads” 🎉 (s stands for Sets).

* Fluent design with a built-in tab system.
* Blazingly fast and lightweight.
* Launch from the command line or PowerShell by typing: `notepads` or `notepads %FilePath%`.
* Multi-line handwriting support.
* Built-in Markdown live preview.
* Built-in diff viewer (preview your changes).
* Session snapshot and multi-instances.

## Shortcuts:

* Ctrl+N/T to create new tab.
* Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab to switch between tabs.
* Ctrl+Num(1-9) to quickly switch to specified tab.
* Ctrl+"+"/"-" for zooming. Ctrl+"0" to reset zooming to default.
* Ctrl+L/R to change text flow direction. (LTR/RTL)
* Alt+P to toggle preview split view for Markdown file.
* Alt+D to toggle side-by-side diff viewer.

## Platform limitations (UWP):

* You won't be able to save files to system folders due to UWP restriction (windows, system32, etc.).
* You cannot associate potentially harmful file types (.cmd, .bat etc.) with Notepads.
* Notepads does not work well with large files; the file size limit is set to 1MB for now. I will add large file support late
