Notepad2

What’s this?
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.

    • Drag & drop text editing inside and outside Notepad2
    • Basic regular expression search and replace
    • Useful word, line and block editing shortcuts
    • Rectangular selection (Alt+Mouse)
    • Brace matching, auto indent, long line marker, zoom functions
    • Support for Unicode, UTF-8, Unix and Mac text files
