You can also use the Ctrl + + (plus sign) and Ctrl + – (minus sign) key combinations to zoom in and out, respectively. Shrink. To return to the default setting of 100%, press Ctrl + 0 (zero).<\/p>\n
You can also use a combination of keyboard and mouse to quickly zoom in and out. Hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel up to zoom in or down to zoom out.<\/p>\n
If you started searching in the middle of a text file in Notepad, the search will go to the end of the file or to the beginning of the file (depending on the selected direction), but not the entire file.<\/p>\n
In the new improved editor, Microsoft has added an option to wrap the search so you can search the entire text file from wherever the cursor is in the file.<\/p>\n
When you press Ctrl + F and type a word or phrase in the Find what Check the Wrap box to search the entire file.<\/p>\n
Notepad also remembers the options you select now Wrap The checkbox remains selected the next time you use Find dialog box to find.<\/p>\n

Previously, when you were enabled line break on the format menu in Notepad, the status bar disappeared when you would have enabled it. You could not display both at the same time. When line break was enabled, the status bar option on the view menu was grayed out and unavailable.<\/p>\n
Now you can enable newline and show the status bar at the same time. You can disable both of them if you want.<\/p>\n

Before Windows 10 1809, Notepad only supported line endings for newlines (CR) and line feeds (LF) (CRLF) for text files. If you opened text files created on Unix, Linux or Mac, the line endings were not displayed correctly. The file would be a mess, and the lines would end in unexpected places. You had to open the file in WordPad, save it there and then open the file again in Notepad.<\/p>\n
Notepad still uses Windows Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) (CRLF) line breaks by default. Finally, Microsoft has added support for line endings in Unix and Linux (LF) and Mac (CR) in Notepad in Windows 10 1809. Text files created on Unix, Linux or Mac are now displayed correctly when opened in Notepad.<\/p>\n
When editing and saving text files created on Unix, Linux or Mac, Notepad retains the line break type of the operating system it was created in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
With Notepad you can now search Bing directly in a text file.<\/p>\n
Just select a word or phrase and choose Search with Bing from the Edit menu or press Ctrl + E. Notepad searches the web with Bing and opens the results in Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, you can only perform searches through the editor with Bing and Edge. It is not possible to switch to another search engine or browser.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Microsoft has made other small changes and improvements to Notepad. And they have fixed some bugs.<\/p>\n
Notepad already supports the Ctrl + left arrow and Ctrl + right arrow keyboard shortcuts to cycle through entire words at once. You can also use the Shift + Ctrl + Left Arrow and Shift + Ctrl + Right Arrow keyboard shortcuts to select entire words at once.<\/p>\n
Now you can also use Ctrl + Backspace to delete the previous word.<\/p>\n
If text was previously selected and you move the cursor with the left or right key and deselect the text, the cursor jumps forward or back by one character.<\/p>\n
Now, if you move the cursor with the arrow keys while a text is selected, the first keystroke will deselect the text and move the cursor to or in front of the selection location. The cursor is not moved one more character away from the selected text.<\/p>\n
If you frequently work with large text files, you'll be glad to know that Microsoft promises improved performance when opening large files in Notepad.<\/p>\n
Microsoft has also fixed some display bugs.<\/p>\n
Although we did not notice this bug, Notepad now displays lines that do not fully fit on the screen.<\/p>\n
When saving a file, the row and column numbers in this status bar are not reset to 1. You still show the correct position of the cursor in the text file.<\/p>\n
