Now, if some of that makes no sense to you, don’t worry. Note that you get tabs for each open file and a Plugin system that lets you enhance the functionality of Notepad++. Auto-completion: Word completion, Function completion and Function parameters hint.GUI entirely customizable: minimalist, tab with close button, multi-line tab, vertical tab and vertical document list.PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) Search/Replace.User Defined Syntax Highlighting and Folding: screenshot 1, screenshot 2, screenshot 3 and screenshot 4.In addition to all the sassy editing features you’d expect from a “not-Notepad” text editor, you get: You can download Notepad++ here – for free! In that case, neither Notepad nor WordPad give us what we need. If that works for you, great! But many of us need a text editor without all the formatty fluff – a program designed to edit actual old-fashioned text files: maybe some config files, some static HTML pages, and maybe even some minor programming stuff. But WordPad is essentially a dumbed-down version of Word. Sure, you could try WordPad, which is built in to Windows just like Notepad. I still have and use Notepad++ regularly!! I still keep Notepad++ around for my general purpose text editing needs since it is far, far better than Notepad or WordPad.īut, I’m thinking even Notepad++’s days may be numbered… Now, you may remember an article I wrote back in 2012 entitled: Sublime Text: A Programmer’s Text Editor for the Rest of Us.
