Notepad2: a great replacement for notepad

Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2005 6:05 PM

Notepad2 is free and it has replaced notepad on my machines a long time ago. It has some really useful features:

  • Syntax highlighting for html, xml and most programming languages
  • CR+LF vs LF encoding management so there is no problem editing unix files on Windows
  • Auto close XML tags
  • Tons for keyboard shortcuts

The best thing of them all; it is a single .exe that you copy. No need to run any setup. Just copy it on a USB Key and you have it wherever you go!



Feel free to drop a few cents in the tip jar if this post saved you time and money

The feature list is pretty impressive. I just downloaded a copy and I will give it a try soon.
