    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.

      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
