N++ can search for a string in a directory full of files, that's what I use it for. Also helpful for showing unprintable characters like linefeeds or changing bit order mode, I'm not sure vs code can do any of that.
For writing code, though, I do use vs code
IIRC you can do both of those with VSCode, I think even without any extensions too!
The search sidebar has include and exclude fields for directories to search in.
For showing unprintable characters, I think it's split into two settings: one for whitespace one for control characters like null and bell
I wasn't aware of that, I'll have to check it out. Thank you.
