Microsoft added text zooming support to Notepad. You can now press CTRL + Plus and CTRL + Minus to zoom-in and zoom-out respectively. You can also use the mouse wheel by pressing the CTRL key to perform the zooming. Alternatively, View | Zoom menu item can also be used. You can restore the zoom level to original state by pressing CTRL + 0 (zero).

 

Want to remove notepad contents word-by-word? Microsoft now added CTRL + Backspace and CTRL + Delete shortcut key combination to delete previous word and next word (from the current cursor position) respectively.

 

The new update brings the ability to do wrap-around find and replace. Anything that you have selected in notepad and then opened the find dialog, will be auto-populated in it. Notepad will now also remember the previously entered search phrase and the state of the checkboxes.

 

When word-wrap is enabled, it is now possible to see the line numbers and column numbers in the status bar of the notepad. Apart from these, performance improvement has been added to notepad. You can now open the large text files without any performance degrade.

Though it's still not to the mark of other text editors like Notepad++, still it's good to see Microsoft working on this after ages.
