UI & Layout
There are two sets of buttons in Notepad. The buttons below the textbox are mostly for opening, editing, and running files. The top bar of icons are for niche, miscellaneous things you may need to do at some point. I also put some medium-useful buttons here simply because it is easier to reach when you first open Notepad.
Opening, Editing, and Running Files
There are three different buttons to open files.
Open File
Opens the file in the normal textbox.
Some Unicode characters may be removed or replaced. This mode is not recommended for opening and editing binary files.
Open in New Window
Opens the file in a new Notepad window.
Open Image
Opens an image below the textbox. In the future, there will be an actual UI for this and there may be image editing functionalities, but it is not a priority right now.
Download
Downloads the current contents of the textbox. See the above note about binary files.
Run JavaScript
Interprets the textbox contents as JavaScript and runs it on the page, alerting the user if an error occurs. Note that it is URL-decoded automatically, so use %25 if you need a percent symbol. This may change in the future.
Run HTML
Interprets the textbox contents as HTML (or SVG) and opens it in a new window.
Live Palette
Interprets textbox contents as CSS and updates the notepad theme to match. Toggles real-time updating on and off. Useful for making themes.
In the previous opener system, these buttons were for generating the opener and extracting the original file, respectively. This is no longer necessary with/for the new opener system. The Zap button used to save the zapped file in a special place that could only be restored by using this button. Now it just saves the file in the save conveyor.Removed features
