Text Editor

Text Editor is an easy-to-use software program developed in Java, which facilitates a simple working environment for opening, editing, creating and saving plain text documents.

It supports multiple tabs and contains a standard set of options that can be figured out by all sorts of users, even the ones less experienced in such software.

As long as you have Java Runtime Environment present on your computer, you don't have to set up anything else. You can copy the downloaded files to a custom directory on the disk and double-click the executable jar file to launch the tool directly.

Otherwise, you can keep it stored on a USB flash drive and effortlessly run it on any PC. It doesn't change system registry settings or generate extra files on the disk without permission.

When it comes to the interface, Text Editor opts for a simple window and neatly structured layout. Thanks to the fact that it supports multiple tabs, you can keep more documents opened at the same time and easily cycle through them.

Besides performing basic text formatting actions like cut, copy, paste, delete and select all, there's nothing much else to say about this app. It can save modifications to TXT format after you indicate the output directory and file name.

Unsurprisingly, Text Editor didn't hog system resources in our tests, using low CPU and RAM. It stayed stable throughout its runtime and didn't cause the operating system to freeze, crash or prompt errors.

On the other hand, the program has implemented a poor set of features designed for text editing. It's weaker even than Windows Notepad, considered by many to be the baseline of word processors. However, it's lightweight and fast, catering to to users looking for a straightforward text editor without having to worry about complex options.
