Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Version: 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4
Notepad+ is a free source code editor which supports several Programming
Languages running under the MS Windows environment.
This project, based on Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor
component) and written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures
the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under
the GPL Licence.
This project is mature. However, as you can see it's a one-man-project,
there're still some bugs and missing features. If you have any questions
or suggestions about this project, please drop me a mail, I'd love to
hear from you. As well, if you have any feature request, you can always
do the demand, but there's no warranty that I'll implement it.
Features:
- Supported languages: C, C++, Java, C#, XML, HTML, PHP, Javascript, RC
resource file, makefile, ASCII art file (extension .nfo), doxygen, ini
file, batch file, ASP, VB/VBS source files, SQL, Objective-C, CSS,
Pascal, Perl, Python and Lua.
- WYSIWYG: If you have a color printer, print your source code (or
whatever you want) in color.
- It allows user to define his own language: not only the syntax
highlighting keywords, but also the syntax folding keywords, comment
keywords and the operators.
- Auto-completion: For most supported languages, user can make his/her
own API list (or download the api files from dowload section). Once
the api file is ready, type Ctrl+Space to launch this action. For more
information about Auto-completion, please see Auto-completion HOWTO.
- Multi-Document: You can edit several documents at the same time.
- Multi-View: You have two views at same time. That means you can
visualize (edit) 2 different documents at the same time. You can
visualize (edit) in the 2 views one document at 2 different positions
as well. The modification of document in one view will carry out in
another view (i.e. you modify the SAME document when you are in clone
mode).
- Regular Expression Search/Replace supported: You can search and
replace one string in the document by using the regular expression.
- Full Drag 'N' Drop supported: You can open a document by drag & drop.
You can also move your document from a position (or even a view) to
another by drag & drop.
- Dynamic position of Views: The user can set the position of the views
dynamically (only in 2 views mode: the splitter can be set in
horizontal or in vertical).
- File Status Auto-detection: If you modify or delete a file which
opened in Notepad+, you will be notified to update your document
(reload the file or remove the file).
- Zoom in and zoom out: That's another fantastic function of Scintilla
component.
- Multi-Language environment supported: The Chinese, Japanese and Korean
Windows environments are supported.
- Bookmark: User can just click on the bookmark margin (located right
side of line number margin) or type Ctrl+F2 to toggle a book mark. To
reach the bookmark, type just F2 (Next bookmark) or Shift+F2 (Previous
bookmark). To clear all bookmarks, click the Menu Search->Clear All
bookmarks.
- Brace and Indent guideline Highlighting: When the caret stay beside of
one of those symbol { } [ ] ( ), the symbol beside of caret and its
symmetric opposite symbol will be highlighted, as well as the indent
guideline (if any) in order to locate the block more easily.
- Macro recording and playback: Coming soon: You can save several macros
and edit their keyboard shorcuts.
