Hi Erik,

oops, I overread that you talked about notepad (not notepad++) and the
<lf> stuff. My fault. I use the portable version of notepad++ and don't
have the "space in path" problem. But if you mainly use the git-bash (as
I do) instead of cmd.exe, then probably you could tweak your .bashrc:

export PATH="/C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++":$PATH

and then run notepad++ w/o giving the absolute path.

Cheers,
    Dirk
