LaimEditor

LaimEditor is Java-based text editor that comes packed with a sleek interface and support for syntax highlighting for programming and scripting languages, such as C/C++, C#, CSS, Delphi, HTML, Java, JavaScript, PHP and HTML.

Setup is not necessary, which makes LaimEditor portable, as long as you have Java installed. You can drop the program files to any location on the hard disk and just click the JAR item to run.

Another possibility is to save a copy of the app to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, so no traces are left behind after the app's removal.

The main app window has a clear-cut structure, with several flat buttons shown in the toolbar. By default, no formatting is set for syntax highlighting but you can change this from the "Light" menu, as well as edit regular font settings in matter of name, style and size.

You can show line numbers and emulate tabs, undo and redo actions, search and replace text, as well as insert Java, C or HTML templates. Projects can be printed or saved to the file type supported by the selected language, or just to plain text document.

With a pleasant interface and syntax highlighting support for popular programming and scripting languages, LaimEditor offers a simple means of creating basic projects without having to worry about complicated features. It's light on the system resources too.
