Notepad2 — supercharged replacement for Notepad

2 11 2007

Having a good text editor available can be very useful, especially for taking notes, making lists, and quickly editing text-based files. Windows has always included Notepad, which as you you may know is very basic and somewhat underpowered. If you find yourselves using Notepad or other plain-text editors a lot, have a look at Notepad2 by Florian Balmer.

Notepad2 is similar to Windows Notepad, but it’s “supercharged.” For example, Notepad2 offers syntax highlighting for a wide range of file types and different source-code standards. This makes it a really handy tool for stuff like editing HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), PHP code, JavaScript, VBScript, Perl, batch files, and a whole lot more.

Notepad2 also supports advanced drag-and-drop functionality, various character sets, and has other useful features that you won’t find in Notepad. Plus, Notepad2 doesn’t rely on any Registry settings, so you can easily put a copy on your flash drive and use it as portable software.

You can download a free copy of Notepad at Balmer’s Web site.
