Couldn't have come at a better time for those who are affected by their IT departments removing access to Notepad++.

That’s an interesting thought. I don’t believe that Vim’s modal system will be to their taste, but makes me curious if anyone has put together a collection of useful text editing macros for Vim similar to what Notepad++ offers.

Typically, I just pipe the output of my buffer to external commands to apply similar transformations that Notepad++ offers out of the box, but I would think the same would be challenging to do on Windows without Cygwin to close the gap. So a Vim macro collection similar to Notepad++ implemented in Vim script or Lua would be pretty cool.
