Code-Genie

Code-Genie has been designed as a text editing solution for programmers and web developers as well as for the regular user that requires a more feature-rich Notepad alternative.

Apart from text editing the application integrates a binary editor that can switch to hexadecimal view of the bytes.

Although the text editing functionality seems to have nothing special the program packs a powerful punch under the hood. It features syntax highlighting support for several languages such as C++, PHP, HTML, CSS, Java, JavaScript, Perl and VBScript.

The abilities of the application are extensive and include the possibility to assign shortcuts to macros or snippets of code, changing the case in a jiffy as well as to find the closing pair of a bracket without too much effort.

It features support for multiple documents, which allows working on multiple projects at the same time; this capability is suitable for comparing two documents by tiling them side by side.

Moreover, the application makes available a Perl-compatible library for regular expressions that support modifiers for extended functionality.

An important options is replacing Microsoft’s Notepad application with Code-Genie in order to have access to a more extensive set of choices as far as text editing is concerned.

The auto-complete function allows the user to complete the project much faster as the words and statements are available for selection.

Another way to automate coding is via macros, whose language can be VBScript or Jscript. For this feature the program relies on Microsoft’s ScriptControl utility.
