We’ve been fans of this program for several years now, and use it for both writing and quick HTML/ programming edits. Now over ten years old, EditPlus hails from South Korea and remains supported by a fairly active user community who have contributed their own syntax libraries for free distribution. The interface is, as you might expect, nothing much to get excited about, although it’s unobtrusive enough in a ‘spirit of Windows 98’ sort of way and can be customised to within an inch of its life. Other features related include FTP commands for uploading local files to FTP server, line number, ruler, URL highlighting, auto-completion, cliptext, column selection, powerful search and replace, multiple undo/redo and customisable keyboard shortcuts. The program offers a tabbed, multiple document interface with window splitting and spell checking, plus find and replace and case conversion.Īlthough it lacks some of the smartypants features seen in fully featured writing programs like Word (there’s no grammar checker to be seen, for example), we found the lack of distracting glitz and gizmos helped us concentrate on the writing.Īs well as serving as a handy text editor – complete with spell checker and word count – the program offers a ton of powerful features for web authors and programmers, with syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, Perl, C/C++, Java, JavaScript and VBScript.Ī HTML editor toolbar gives quick access to a string of HTML tags with a built in browser letting you quickly preview web pages. It’s been our numero uno choice for writing stories for this website for some years now, replacing the bloat of Windows Word while still offering enough tools and features to keep things moving along speedily. If you’re getting mighty miffed by having to do battle with basic Notepad application that ships with Windows whenever you’re looking to do some serious text/code editing, then, EditPlus for Windows could be worth a look.
