    I know a few people who use it to covert selections to plain text or keep a quick note. Notepad++ is more akin to an IDE if anything.

      Ctrl + Shift + V will paste a selection in plain text.

      Also I keep quick notes in Notepad++ because it’s just as easy to open and it has persistent windows in case something happens.
