Neat little free code editor

I just found a neat little free code editor today called PSPad, it can be found here.

These are just some of it's features:

• work with projects
• work with several documents at the same time (MDI)
• save desktop sessions to later reopen all session files
• FTP client - edit files directly from the web
• macro recorder to record, save and load macros
• search and replace in files
• text difference with color-coded differences highlighted
• templates (HTML tags, scripts, code templates...)
• installation contains templates for HTML, PHP, Pascal, JScript, VBScript, MySQL, MS-Dos, Perl,...
• syntax highlighting according to file type
• user-defined highlighters for exotic environments
• auto correction
• intelligent internal HTML preview using IE and Mozilla
• full HEX editor
• call different external programs for different environments
• external compiler with output catcher, log window and log p****r for an "IDE" effect in every environment
• color syntax highlight printing and print preview
• integrated TiDy library for formatting and checking HTML code, conversion to CSS, XML, XHTML
• integrated free version of the top CSS editor TopStyle Lite
• export with highlight to RTF, HTML, TeX format to file or clipboard
• column block select, bookmarks, line numbers, ...
• reformat and compress HTML code, tag character case change
• line sorting with ability to sort on defined columns and drop duplicates
• ASCII chart with HTML entities
• Code explorer for Pascal, C/C++, INI, HTML, XML, PHP and more in development
• spell checker
• internal web browser with APACHE support
• matching bracket highlighting
• ...(many more features, too numerous to list)

I am now using it for all my text based coding. Previously I was using Crimson Editor, but this is much more powerful and even easier to use.

Sounds good, cheers mate

thanks for the link Julian
Alex

I got to admit, I'm kind aused to conText though, but this seems really cool

Thanks a lot, Julian. I use Zend, but it's a seriously bloated application and it's also coded in pure Java, so it can be quite sluggish on various computers. PSPad looks very promising.

The other thing is it's free Wildhoney

Nice! I've been looking for something to replace Crimson Editor for quite a while. It's a nice program, but the developer moved on or...died....or something back in 04 and there are a couple of large bugs that have been left unresolved.

It's very good, but I still think I like Crimson more. It offsets better the cursor when you hold the Ctrl key and colors the PHP functions. Or it is just me who could not understand how to do the same with PSPad

For all you Textmate fans, looking for something on a PC, check out InType.

They have a a long way to go, but looks like it could be good.
