I'm in the same boat. I ended up giving up on the Linux options and using a Notepad++ snap package, but as it runs in WINE it has some quirks that I have not figured out yet.
As an example I chose to hide the menu bar while I was trying to get a dark theme looking correct, and now I have no idea how to bring the menu bar back, because wine takes the [alt] input that would usually bring the menu back up.
I'll probably end up just deleting and reinstalling the snap. But I'd rather know how to bring up the alt menu in emulated programs in wine - in case it happens again.
Used to be alt+space. But I haven't used wine in a while...
Thanks for the suggestion. That combo seems to bring up window options for Wine's workspace. I've purged and reinstalled the snap now which does skirt the problem.
