Notepas Portable

Notepas Portable is a lightweight text editor that offers support for advanced formatting rules, code filtering, syntax highlighting, code folding and other handy features designed to help developers write source code in a fast and efficient way.

Since this is the portable version of the program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to edit source code on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Although it comes packed with a bunch of dedicated parameters, it reveals a well-organized set of functions. There is no support for a help manual but rookies can count on tooltips for getting extra information about each function.

Plus, thanks to the multi-tabbed interface, you may work with multiple documents at the same time.

Notepas Portable lets you perform search operations, use several code shaping tools for inserting or removing breaks, replacing strings, and trimming the text, filter the code, check the character map, as well as format the text.

You can also count on several handy parameters for writing the code efficiently, such as smart selection, syntax highlighting for various programming languages (e.g. JAVA, PERL, JS, PHP, HTML, CSS, TEX, PY, CPP), line numbering, code folding, comment insertion, as well as customizable highlighting rules.

What’s more, the program gives you the possibility to upload data from a file using the “drag and drop” support, perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete), undo or redo your actions, pick the encoding type, choose the line break style, and use hotkeys for a better control over the entire process.

In order to improve your work flow, the tool automatically displays several features on the right side of the main window when you select the text. You may remove whitespace from the text, switch between lowercase or uppercase mode, align or indent the selected lines, merge blank lines, quote or dequote each line, strip the first or last character from every line, strip all comments from the selected code, as well as strip markup tags from HTML/XML files.

Notepas Portable proves to be a reliable application that comes bundled with a decent suite of features for helping you edit source code.
