Re:Microsoft dumps AI into Notepad as 'Copilot all the thing... by jasonthorsness on Friday May 23, 2025 @02:06PM (#44075047)
Wow it defaulted to "enabled" for me but wasn't working because I'm not signed in with a Microsoft account. I didn't even notice it was on.

I use notepad as a copy/paste tool to strip formatting and make minor edits. I paste a lot of sensitive information there; I already had to turn off the "restore content on reopen" feature, this is disturbing that I am not sure whether having Copilot enabled could possibly send content to an LLM unprompted (maybe it's just menu-driven but I don't know...)

I would like to recommend notepad++. It does the job and I especially like it for multi-document and the other feautures like regex replace and plugins, etc...
