There is still no real equivalent on Linux. Kate seems nice but its session management isn't ideal.

Honestly I want to take Scintilla or whatever and just add in session support, syntax highlighting and spellchecking, and then I'll have my perfect editor.

You might take a look at [SciTE](https://scintilla.org/SciTE.html), a light weight wrapper around Scintilla, with lua scripting support. It’s been my non-IDE editor for years on Windows and Linux…


I love SciTE but it feels like a technical demo compared to Npp.


Micro editor (https://micro-editor.github.io/) works best for me but it's terminal-based.


Scite has 2/3 of that anyway. There's some support for running a spell checker, but I'm not really familiar with how smooth or not it can be.


NPP style sessions and color themes are all I would really need to add in. One of these days...
