Brace matching, auto indent, long line marker, zoom functions.Useful word, line and block editing shortcuts.Basic regular expression search and replace.Drag & drop text editing inside and outside Notepad2.Customizable syntax highlighting engine (HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, PHP, CSS, Perl/CGI, C/C++, C#, Java, VB, Pascal, Assembler, SQL, Python, NSIS, INI, REG, INF, BAT, DIFF).But look at everything you get for that additional 450kb: The original Notepad shipped with Windows is probably the handiest program of all times, small, fast, without frills! Notepad2 tries to follow this principle, it's a small, fast and free text editor with syntax highlighting for HTML and other common languages.Īmen, brother! And don't worry, it's still relatively small at 550kb.



Given the severely limited functionality of Notepad, it's incredible that it has taken me this long to find a suitable replacement for what is, evidently, a core part of my developer toolkit.
