My Favorite Free Text Editor

Posted by on Oct 11, 2006 | 2 Comments

PSPad is my favorite text editor – ever. I’ve even replaced all NOTEPAD.EXE calls with it. I’ve written about PSPad before with RIP UltraEdit and Notepad Wars. Try it – you’ll love it.

  • Save and work with multi-file projects
  • Work on several documents in the same window (MDI)
  • Save desktop session to later reopen all open files
  • FTP client – you can edit files directly from the Web
  • Macro recorder to record, save and load macros
  • search and replace in files
  • Auto-correction
  • Spell checker

What’s not to like?!

    I know most of us who’ve been around for awhile have a favorite text editor. Once I came across the free program, Metapad, years ago, I’m not even tempted to check out anything else.

    PSPad? I’ll have to take a look at it. But it will take a lot to convince me to move away from the free NoteTab Light (http://www.notetab.com).
