New Windows 10 Upgrade to Bring Changes to Notepad, Edge
Microsoft has released a test version of Windows 10 update with added features in Notepad and improvements in its web browser Microsoft Edge.
Available for Windows Insiders -- users with Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 systems who test pre-release builds of the operating system -- the 'Build 17713' offers users would get an option to zoom in or out the text on Notepad along with the 'ctrl+backspace' support to delete a previously entered word."
Notepad would be able to remember previously entered data, enabling users to "wrap around" the find/replace option to locate a dialogue.
"We've improved the performance when opening large files in Notepad. Arrow keys now correctly unselect text first and then move the cursor, on saving a file in Notepad, the line and column number no longer reset to 1 and Notepad now correctly displays lines that don't fit entirely on the screen," said Microsoft'sSarkar and LeBlanc added.
The update would give users an option to control autoplay permissions on websites, look for definitions for words with the newly added dictionary function or even listen to the exact pronunciation of the word.
The update would come with several other updates including fasters ways to sign into a Windows PC and Windows 10 shared computers, improvements in the Windows Defender Application and the ability to enter text with a pen in modern applications with the embedded handwriting panel that was introduced in the April 2018 update.
The new features are expected to appear in the update, which is expected to debut later this year, media reported.
