Programmer’s Notepad

Programmer’s Notepad
Notepad doesn’t cut it anymore to work on your html or php but a full fledged IDE is a bit overkill? You might want to take a look at Programmer’s Notepad, a free, open source, text editor with special features for coders.

Features:

- Bookmarks (both numbered and plain)
- Code Folding/Outlining
- Docking tool windows – much better than those in version 1
- Excellent external tool support with user-configurable output matching – click on errors and warnings to jump right to the place in the file where they were generated
- Export to HTML (using CSS) and RTF
- File association manager
- In-file method/definition navigation (using Ctags)
- No limit on file size (although large files may take a while to load)
- Non fixed-width font support
- Projects and Project Groups with multi-level folders and file system mirroring
- Quick Search toolbar with links to Google and Google Groups
- Regular expression search and replace
- Support for unicode files
- Support for windows, unix and macintosh file formats
- Syntax highlighting for many languages through “schemes”.
- Tabbed MDI interface
- Text Clips
- Unlimited number of schemes supported, powerful syntax highlighting supporting both user-defined and built-in schemes
- User-defined schemes (XML)
- Word-wrapping

I’m using it on my work laptop, so far so good.

XIII - Eh... eh?
