@auraber The rm -rf "${pkgdir}/usr/share/${pkgname}/updater" is intentional and is used to disable Notepad++'s built-in updater.

I'm aware that removing the updater directory also disables the Plugins Admin functionality, as documented by upstream: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/12841#issuecomment-1572919599

Allowing Notepad++ to self-update could result in files being modified outside the package manager and potentially leave the installation in an inconsistent state. For that reason, the updater is intentionally removed.

Unfortunately, Plugins Admin currently depends on the updater component upstream. You may want to raise the issue upstream and request that plugin management be decoupled from the self-updater, although I highly doubt they will make any changes since running Notepad++ through Wine on Linux is not a supported use case for the project.

Is rm -rf "${pkgdir}/usr/share/${pkgname}/updater" really necessary in the PKGBUILD?

It disables the plugin manager (Plugins -> Plugins Admin...), which otherwise seems to work fine, after I manually restored updater/GUP.exe.

@boignish normally the gpg key should be imported automatically when is not detected, but this is not guaranteed (keyservers or GPG configuration may block it)

try importing it manually first and then installing it again:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 14BCE4362749B2B51F8C71226C429F1D8D84F46E

I was getting extremely ugly code completion popups that blocked the code it was suggesting for - based on a similar suggestion, I ran winecfg and unchecked "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows", and now it works as it should.

It also, obviously, removed the nice KDE styles from the rest of the window as well, but that's a small price to pay for not having to give up one of the very few programs from Windoze that I still love. I do understand that there are many better IDEs, and I also use Code for larger projects, but when I just want to do some quick and dirty work on a text file, nothing beats it. Thank you for the work!

@ahmedmoselhi - I added user and group id mapping to fuse-overlayfs (it maps to the user running it) it works now. I suspect that fuse-overlayfs refuses to copy root owned files to the upper fs. Thanks for the report!
