"Our favorite new feature is dark mode. This has been a top community ask, and we hope you love this gorgeous new theme as much as we do. By default, Notepad will adapt to your system theme preferences, but you can change this option yourself in the brand-new settings page which is the new home for font options as well," Microsoft wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.

With this update, Microsoft is also introducing a redesigned find and replace experience in Notepad and is also adding support for multi-level undo, one of the top-requested features.

Microsoft said that there are some known issues in this preview version which it will address in future updates. These include:

• issues affecting keyboard access keys usage for when switching between different input languages or while using Japanese IME, and under certain circumstances
• unexpected behaviour when using shift-click to select text or when scrolling.
• improve performance when opening very large files.

"Productivity, performance, and reliability are paramount in Notepad. Regardless of how you incorporate Notepad into your workflows, we will ensure that Notepad continues to excel in those areas. In the preview version, we are releasing today, there are a number of known issues that we will be addressing in future updates," the company said.
