Notepad++ v8.6.1 release

2024-01-05

In the previous version v8.6, we introduced the “column mode to multi-editing” to enhance the user experience for Notepad++ users. However, it’s impossible to make every user happy with any new feature of the software, so an option is added to disable the “column mode to multi-editing”. Also another option is added in v8.6.1 to disable the shortcuts for copying/cutting/deleting an entire line when there’s no selection, and add back Shift-DEL & Ctrl-INS shortcuts.

This release includes numerous bug fixes and new features. You can download v8.6.1 and explore these improvements and learn more about this release here:
