notepad3

Therefore, we created Notepad3 with all the features that the default Windows Notepad currently lacks.  Notepad3  is a fast and light-weight  Scintilla -based text editor with syntax highlighting. It has a small memory footprint but is powerful enough to handle most programming jobs without breaking a sweat.

Notepad3 is based on code from the awesome  Notepad2 by Florian Balmer  and  Notepad2-mod by XhmikosR .

Basic Notepad3 Features

Notepad3 has the following features: code folding, bracket matching, automatic indentation, word auto-completion, convert character encoding between various formats (ASCII, UTF-8, and UTF-16), newline format conversion (between DOS (CR/LF), Unix (LF), and Macintosh (CR) formats), multiple undo or redo, bookmarks, and regular expression-based find and replace.
