The 2nd most popular text editor/IDE on Windows

Notepad++ is a free, open source (GPL) source code editor which supports several programming languages running under the Microsoft Windows environment. Notepad++ is hosted on SourceForge.net, from where it has been downloaded over eight million times.

Notepad++ supports syntax highlighting for 44 programming, scripting, and markup languages. Users can also define their own language by using the built-in User Language Define System, which makes Notepad++ extendable, to have syntax highlighting and syntax folding.

This project, based on the Scintilla editor component, is written in C++ with pure Win32 API calls and uses STL. Notepad++ is licensed under the GPL Licence. The aim of Notepad++ is to offer a slim and efficient binary with a totally customizable GUI.

Notepad++ is available only for the Microsoft Windows operating system. However, users can still get Notepad++ to work on other platforms, like Linux and Mac OS X, using software such as Wine.

    I have ever use old Notepad, Textpad, Ultraedit, Editplus, but I finally found Notepad++ and now am using this a lot. I am still using Editplus sometimes, but most of the time I use Notepad++. The features are great and also keep developed.

    the-best-text-editor-ever

    period!

    It does everything you could ever imagine a text editor could do, and more. And if it doesn't you can always write a plugin for it!

    -syntax highlighting
    -text moving and navigating shortcuts
    -tabbed multi file view
    -file changed since last save checking
    -search in file/folder
    -automagic indentation!
    -very configurable autocomplete

    and the list just goes on and on
