There's good news for people who still use Windows Notepad: For the first time in years,Kalakal big changes are coming to the app — and some of those changes are all thanks to you.

Windows announced yesterday that the next Windows 10 update will include some quality of life improvements for its iconically clunky app. Microsoft wrote in the announcement that it employed user feedback to determine its new features, which include the ability to delete a whole word by hitting Ctrl + Backspace.

This update, which is right on the heels of Microsoft Office's revamp last month, will come with Redstone 5 (the codename for Microsoft's impending update) predicted to launch later this year. If it goes smoothly, the update would be a positive move for the tech giant after a spate of — shall we say — less-than-smooth rollouts these past few months.

While Notepad most recently remedied its problem with mixing up files from other operating systems, the app has not changed much since its inception 33 years ago. Its upcoming update will make the platform more compatible with larger files, and will also improve its find-and-replace function.

Find-and-replace will soon give users the option to wrap around, and will also remember your previous settings to populate a new search automatically. Notepad is also introducing the ability to zoom in on the text, which you'll be able to perform by pressing Ctrl + the plus or minus key, or pressing Ctrl while using the mouse to adjust the zoom level.

Perhaps most excitingly, Notepad will display lines that do not fit the screen entirely.

While we can finally say goodbye to infinitely long lines of text, this update on a cult classic will probably still not change the notoriously not user-friendly reputation of this app.
