Thanks! Glad to find someone who can explain how things work and whos code actually works! Sad to see you didn't continue the series but I will try to complete the whole program with the stuff I have learnt from you! :)

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, indeed it's a shame that you ended it, but I'm pretty sure most people got what they came here for.

Amazing tutorial, really unfortunate that you ended the series.

Since you haven't made a next part, I finished it for you. I added a working find function, a replace function, undo/redo button, and a thing that it asks if you want to save first when you haven't saved yet and you do something. Does anyone want the code?

What about the print command inside the file menu?

Hi there, Diogo. I intend to adapt your code to a small program I am writing in python and Tkinter in order to create a program that tests my knowledge in the German language. I learn German by reading and processing German texts. The problem that I have now is that I can neither SAVE nor OPEN German texts because the language contains special characters, e.g. words with umlaut (e.g. ä, ü, ß, ö). Although I use encoding='utf-8' to run the Python program from IDE, I cannot do the same through the GUI. Could you help me with the lines of code? Thanks.

Is there a way I can use this type to created notepad to display the output I'm getting at Python terminal for another program?

continue ... if you let me see how to enter the line numbers to the left, and the current row number, and the columns in the status bar send you a donation! I am creating a small editor with syntax highlight to simplify the writing of dedicated scripts (.in files and simple file description formats). I hope you will continue with that series.

Hi,
Please, is it possible to set this notepad as the default for txt.file?
To convert to exe I used py2exe, but set as default notepad is not possible.
Thanks you.

Why doesn't the END+'-1c' work?

[powerwheels]

So I have a question on this once it's complete how do you make the run icon instead of the python script icon so for atom it doesn't show the programming language it shows atom logo on the desktop I guess its called desktop icon?
