Notepad++ is the very full-featured substitute for your Notepad

NotePad++ is an excellent plain text editor with all of the features you miss from your traditional Notepad. In addition to working with plain text, it can be used as a source code editor by programmers, and it’s compatible with more than 50 languages.

Its features include syntax for different programming languages, which you can completely personalize. Also, you can personalize the style for each supported language, selecting the color, typeface, font size, and style for the keywords.

You can visualize and work with several documents at the same time using different tabs and even modify different views of the same file at the same time. The changes that you make in one visualization of the document will also appear in the others. It also allows you to search for words or phrases using regular expressions.

The supported languages include C, Java, XML, HTML, PHP, JavaScript, RC resource files, makefile, ASCII art files, Doxygen, ini files, ASP, VB/VBS files, SQL, Objective-C, CSS, Pascal, Perl, and Python. Each of these has its visualization system that the program will use to suggest autocomplete options or allow you to compress lines of code between brackets.

Through the use of plugins, the functionality of Notepad++ can be greatly enhanced, and one of the integrated ones brings FTP support while others are a spell checker or an ASCII to HEX and vice-versa converter. Extra functions can be added with third-party plugins so it’s up to the user to choose the ones they prefer.

To wrap it up, developers or not, all Windows users are advised to give Notepad++ a try, even if it is only to get a taste of what a complex text editor looks and feels like.
