Mousepad
Mousepad is a simple text editor for the Xfce desktop environment
by The Mousepad developers

About Mousepad
Mousepad aims to be an easy-to-use and fast editor. Our target is an
editor for quickly editing text files, not a development environment
or an editor with a huge bunch of plugins.
On the other hand we try to use the latest GTK features available,
which means that if GTK adds something new in a major release that is
useful for the editor, we will likely bump the GTK dependency and
integrate this new feature in Mousepad.
How to install Mousepad
- Click Download — the developer's official website opens in a new tab.

- Prefer the command line? With Flatpak you can install and update it with: flatpak install flathub org.xfce.mousepad
