My new favorite text editor, Notepad++

Filed under: Software — bblackmoor @ 22:16

I have been using TextPad for years. Many, many years. I have been looking for a replacement for nearly that long, for two main reasons: TextPad does not have Unicode support, and it isn’t open source. I have kept it for this long because it truly is a fantastic text editor. It offers macros, block select, smart indentation, regular expressions, and a host of other features I use on a regular basis. I have tried editor after editor after editor after editor, and none have measured up to the standard set by TextPad… until now.

Meet my new text editor: Notepad++.
