Notepad++ is every developers friend on Windows - your basic free lightweight replacement for quick edits with some power functions. Linux files? Just right click on 'Windows (CR LF)' on the right bottom of the screen and click 'Unix (LF)'. Problem solved!

You must be into SM if you like to use VIM (or into a lesser extend Nano) on your Linux terminal. Windows is my daily driver and sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm doing in those terminals and VIM where I just can launch open Notepad++ directly from SSH on my Windows machine. I guess I'm into SM .
