Designed for programmers, Epsilon is a comprehensive code editor that comes loaded with rich features to please most types of users. It supports file query replace, regex replace, bookmarks, tags, and buffer sorting, among others.

Wrapped up in a user-friendly interface with a minimalistic appearance, Epsilon lets you work with C, Perl, batch, shell, text, HTML, XML, PHP, Visual Basic, Python, TeX, Java, INI, and other types of files.

It's possible to capitalize, uppercase, lowercase or transpose words, fill paragraphs, indent a region, insert characters with ASCII code, search forward or backward for keywords within the code, as well as replace queries, file queries, strings, and regex.

Epsilon also lets you keep or delete matching lines, compile the code and view errors, create tags and bookmarks to identify certain blocks of code easier, jump to a specific line, compare the code of two open windows and find out the differences, as well as compare the current version to a previous one.

Moreover, you can sort the buffer or region, run the last macro, repeat the last command, set variables, assign keyboard shortcuts to any command, load bytecode files, show line wrapping, change the font and colors, show spaces, toggle the toolbar and menu bar, and so on.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software utility didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. Unsurprisingly, it had minimal impact on the overall performance of the machine, using low CPU and RAM.

The features require a bit of studying to get the hang of Epsilon. Luckily, there is a help manual available online. Too bad that the tool hasn't been update for a long time. Otherwise, it comes bundled with a lot of advanced code editing options for programmers.

What's new in Epsilon 13.12:

  • Modes for XML and HTML have been extensively enhanced. They now support smart indenting and embedded CSS and Python scripting. And they automatically highlight matching and mismatched tags. There are new commands to move by tags or elements, delete matched tags, insert an end tag to close the current element, list unmatched tags, and sort and align XML attributes.
  • Epsilon can now display misspelled words as you edit. In programming language modes, it marks only words in comments and strings. (Modes can easily customize this.) Epsilon also offers suggestions for correcting these misspellings, either using its own guessing algorithm or one of several external programs. It maintains per-file, per-directory, and global ignore lists. A traditional spell-buffer-or-region command and a spell-grep command to list all misspelled words are also available.
  • A new context-sensitive help feature provides help on language keywords using flexible mode-based rules. It includes built-in rules for C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python, Java, HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, XML, Visual Basic, LaTeX, Shell scripts, VHDL, Tcl, and EEL, and you can customize them by simply setting a variable. Rules can offer help by conducting a web search, accessing Windows-based help in various formats, displaying Info documentation, and other methods.
  • A new browse-symbol command provides an enhanced interface to the source code browser database generated by Microsoft compilers. Epsilon can display the names of all functions that read or write a certain variable or call a particular function, and show the actual lines that do so, letting you quickly navigate to one. Results can be filtered in various ways. You can now use Epsilon's native tagging facility side by side with a browser database.
