X-Notepad++

X-Notepad++ is a portable edition of Notepad++, en enhanced version of Notepad that provides additional options dedicated to source code editing. These work alongside the text formatting functionality, providing developers with a powerful editor.

The application features syntax highlighting and folding, auto-complete capabilities for functions, words and paths, comment insertion and line numbering, as well as advanced search options with find and replace functions, incremental queries and regular expression support. It can process code for multiple programming languages, such as AutoIt, Java, JavaScript, HTML, Matlab, Lua and many more.

The tab-based interface enables you to work with more than one document at a time, while the navigation and bookmarking functions enable you to easily go to specific code sections.

It features a case conversion tool and includes specific text line actions that allow line duplication, split, join, removal, insertion or sorting, with significant impact on productivity. All the functions you write can be managed using the 'Function List'.

Unlike the namesake text processing application that comes with Windows, X-Notepad++ features an integrated session manager that you can use to easily load tabs you were working on and pick up where you left off.

The application features macro recording and trim trailing, supports ANSI and UTF encoding and comes with a fully customizable GUI, enabling you to decide upon colors, fonts and styles.

The functionality of X-Notepad++ can be extended using plugins, which allows it to meet the requirements of any developer. Its advanced feature set, along with portability make it a reliable utility worth having in every programmer's toolkit.
