Xint is a software tool similar to Windows Notepad, which comprises additional useful features. It addresses all types of users, regardless of their skill level.

The interface of the program is similar to the one of Notepad, with the same simple appearance, so you shouldn't experience any navigation issues. Plain text files can be loaded into the workspace using either the file browser or "drag and drop" functionality.

You can delete a line or all text starting from the cursor position till the end of the line, as well as select all text and immediately copy it to the Clipboard through a keyboard shortcut.

The search function comes with a few filters. For instance, you may enable case sensitivity or regular expression mode, look only for whole words, as well as search only within the selected text.

You can jump to a particular line number, search for text within multiple files, match brackets, select delimiters (e.g. quotes, square brackets) and count specific delimiters, as well as insert the current date and time, an external file, a file name or path, a DOS file name, hex color, URLs and image paths.

It is also possible to customize the font and background color, enable syntax highlighting for programming languages (e.g. PHP, JavaScript, HTML, C++), as well as convert selected text to uppercase or lowercase.

Other options of Xint let you count words and bytes, enable word wrapping mode, make the frame stay on top of other windows, encrypt the current document using the Twofish algorithm, insert snippets to create a templates file, and convert the base (decimal, binary, hexadecimal), among others.

One of Xint's key features is that it supports keyboard shortcuts for most of the aforementioned options. However, you cannot reconfigure them. The tool is light on the system resources, is pretty stable and has a good response time. Xint is a great alternative to Notepad for users who are looking for more comprehensive word processing options while working in a familiar environment.
