Notepads: [Feature request] i need GBK or GB2312 encoding choice

[kasusa]

need a GBK encoding option

I am a user from china , and lots of txt stuff I download from internet are encoding by GBK which is not readable under utf-8 encoding style.

I need to have a GBK encoding option or you can give me a button to easy change the encod from GBK to utf-8 , then i don't have to change the encode using vscode every time

I am planning to work on a feature called "Reopen with encoding.." option to switch encoding on the fly on top of Unicode we already have. For the time being, you can use ANSI as fallback encoding instead. It is in the settings.

For the time being, can you try use "ANSI" as default encoding in the setting menu? It will treat files with no BOM as ANSI and use default Windows code page. If your system is using Chinese as main language, it should use GBK as default.

你的这个记事本是utf8，当然不起作用，看右下角

Can the new feature be like vscode, click the lower right corner button to switch coding?

Yes, I am working on the feature (reopen with encoding + save as encoding). Basically I am going to add all ANSI encodings including GB2312.
