Notepad++ is a free text editor that supports a wide range of character sets and automatically recognizes and visually structures programming languages. Compared to the editor integrated in Windows, Notepad++ offers a variety of additional functions and is also suitable for quick and easy word processing. Text files can be created and edited with Notepad++. The editor is based on Scintilla and supports various ANSI character sets as well as Unicode. The tool automatically recognizes numerous programming languages, including veterans such as Fortran and Cobol, and highlights the syntax with a colored marker. In this way, structural elements and keywords are clearly visible. The type of syntax highlighting can be individually adjusted using styles. In addition, the language used can be set manually and you can define your own languages. In addition, the editor enables commands to be completed automatically and increases the overview in the source code by being able to fold and unfold individual text blocks.
In addition to the normal mode, the search and replace function offers an extended method that also takes control characters into account, as well as a mode for regular expressions. The search is not limited to currently open files, but can be extended to directory structures. Frequently recurring command sequences can be automated using the macro recorder. Each recorded macro can be mapped to a shortcut key for quick access. Notepad++ can be expanded with additional functions via numerous plug-ins. A list of available plugins can be found on the Notepad++ community page.
