Figerty Notepad

Text editors help perform one of the most basic of computer operations, and that is writing. They can also be used to take notes for research purposes, or write down the source code for different projects. In case you’re looking for a simple editor, Figerty Notepad provides tab support, and can process several different file formats.

It’s best to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer because it’s a mandatory component for functionality, even though Windows usually comes with it as a default feature. On the other hand, the application is portable, leaves no traces in registry entries, and can be used on the go from a thumb drive.

You can start working on new projects directly, or load existing files under formats like TXT, RTF, and HTML. These are also the file types you can save your text to. What’s more, a great deal of flexibility is provided by tab support, allowing you to work on multiple files at a time, and copy elements in between.

Since rich text type is supported, you have the possibility to customize the way text looks by changing text font, type, size, attributes, and even color. However, advanced page alignment options, or functions to add bullet items are not included. Line numbering is also missing, or at least indicators for number of characters, or words.

Be sure to save your work before leaving the application, because you’re not prompted when quitting. There are no additional options, and edit operations are narrowed down to basics, such as copy, cut, paste, select, clear selection, delete, undo, and redo last operation.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Figerty Notepad comes with good intentions, but is a little underprepared to even face the default text editors Windows puts at your disposal. Sure enough it supports multiple tabs, and several file formats, but it can quickly make you look for alternatives.
