Portable EditRocket

A reliable source code editor is a must-have for any programmer, regardless of their previous experience. While some can get accustomed to write code using a simple text editor such as Notepad, the majority call to a dedicated source code editor, given that the latter brings to the table a few functions meant to make the programmer’s life easier.

One good example is Portable EditRocket, a text editor and development tool that comes with support for more than 20 programming languages, providing syntax highlighting, database support, auto-completion, bookmarks, macros, and more, as detailed below.

First of all, it is worth mentioning that Portable EditRocket is the install-free counterpart of EditRocket, meaning it does not require users to go through a setup process. Instead, it is up and ready for use as soon as you double-click on the executable file.

Portable EditRocket leaves no traces on the host system and does not modify the system’s registry. As a plus, it can be used on the go, directly from a removable drive.

Upon launch, Portable EditRocket greets its users with usage tips that help you get the most out of the editor. The application features syntax highlighting and auto-completion for all the supported programming languages, as well as code builders and coding assistants for some. As a plus, it comes with code inserts and suggestions and it even features various customizable code templates.

The application is capable of creating CSS style sheets and it comes with code manipulation tools for HTML, such as the tag builder, the tidy tool, the entity selector and the integrated validators. It also features a text to HTML converter, as well as built-in HTML wizards to help users create HTML tags easier and faster.

A few other productivity tools allow users to manipulate code with ease. Portable EditRocket comes with advanced code navigation tools (tab navigator, function / method navigator and lookup function, key ahead and bookmarks).

The user-friendly source code editor and the support for so many programming languages turns Portable EditRocket into a pretty versatile tool. The application delivers an all-in-one package that is ready to meet the requirements of all programmers, with productivity tools that allow code editing and debugging.
