Notepad ++ is one of the best text editors among those I have met in search of the perfect program for working with HTML files. In addition to fairly standard functions like the MDI interface, custom syntax highlighting, collapsing blocks, support for regular expressions for searching, macros and plug-ins in Notepad ++ I am attracted by one very important detail: fast response. In other words, Notepad ++ has a solid set of functions and does not slow down at all.
Compared to the previous version , possible program crashes when dragging “docking” windows of built-in plug-ins, when searching all files from a folder or using the manager of open windows, have been fixed. ')
And what am I looking for?
Really fast response, including when the backlight is on and on large files. On this item, the winner is Notepad ++
Fully customizable interface so that you can remove all unnecessary from the screen. Same requirements for shortcuts and menus. Here I will mention UltraEdit .
Fast and bug-free search / replace in an open file and in groups of files, including multi-line, with convenient dialog boxes, with full Unicode support (never met!) And regular expressions. At this point, you always have to combine a text editor and any utility for mass search and replace in files.
Not autocompletion on CTRL + Space, but really working multi-line autochange, taking into account the selection, the clipboard and setting the cursor to the right place. For example, I type js: and the editor immediately converts it to <script type = "text / javascript"> puts the cursor and two line breaks </ script> here . Or I select the text, press CTRL + B and the text is surrounded by a <b> or <strong> tag, depending on what I set up. Or I have a link in the buffer, I highlight some word, press CTRL + ALT + A and I already have the complete construction of the link on the selected word, etc. At this point, you have to use not very convenient macros, because each individual program can do a little bit and is not necessarily suitable for editing HTML: TopStyle Pro , Microsoft Word, Semagic . I wonder what it is.
