#EDITPAD LITE INSTRUCTION MANUAL PRO#

So if you’re looking for a good programmer’s editor on Windows, I suggest you give EditPad Pro a try, and perhaps also EmEditor if you prefer more features over a simpler UI. That was an early stumbling block for me but it’s been the only one so far, and it’s well explained in the user manual. files remain part of their project even when closed. The current version also offers “managed” projects which behave as in other editors, i.e. That’s the default because it’s legacy behavior from earlier versions. Closed files are immediately removed from the project. Speaking of projects, the implementation is somewhat unusual in that they only contain open files by default.

Jan Goyvaerts has co-authored the Regular Expressions Cookbook, and a full hundred manual pages are devoted to an in-depth explanation of regular expressions (which are of course fully supported by EditPad Pro).

Excellent documentation through an extensive help file that’s also available as a PDF manual.That should be standard but in reality it’s so rare that it deserves special accolades. The text font defaults to Consolas if available, and the entire UI scales correctly in Windows high DPI mode, even with my current 150% setting.Here’s another rarity: the hotkeys work out of the box on a German keyboard! Most UIs blithely assume an American keyboard where characters such as square brackets can be part of a hotkey.

Highlighting matched and mismatched braces and tags, and commands to jump to matches and insert missing ones.EditPad Pro even offers my favorite Visual Studio scheme for all supported programming languages. This is surprisingly rare, as most programmers seem to be stuck in the Unix terminal days and demand white-on-black color schemes. Good black-on-white color schemes for syntax highlighting.Here’s a quick rundown of things I liked about EditPad Pro in the couple of days I’ve been using it, regardless of whether they are also provided by EmEditor (most are): But all I need for my daily use is there, and packaged into a slick and attractive UI that’s considerably more accessible than EmEditor’s.

A few EmEditor specialties are missing, such as support for CSV tables and LaTeX syntax highlighting. Happily, EditPad Pro by Jan Goyvaerts fits the bill exactly. So I cast about for an alternative: light-weight, not too expensive, and comparable in feature set, but with a cleaner and simpler UI. Worse, EmEditor relies on third-party plug-ins for some basic functionality, and the plug-in mechanism is poorly integrated with the standard UI. As the program accrued more and more features, the UI became a labyrinthine mess of multi-level menus, multi-line toolbars, and multi-tabbed dialogs. That’s a good thing, too, because EmEditor is now afflicted by bit rot in its user interface. Those days are thankfully behind us, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any modern text editor that doesn’t support Unicode. Indeed, I switched to EmEditor from two earlier favorites because their authors refused to add Unicode support, claiming it wasn’t important! Back in the day, EmEditor was one of the first editors to fully support Unicode. for about a decade), Yutaka Emura’s EmEditor was my preferred editor for all kinds of plain text, including HTML/XML documents and source code outside of full-fledged IDEs.
