A source code editor for the programmer and a better text editor
Notepad++ is a handy, very useful source code editor designed to support several programming languages. Notepad++ is designed to be a freeware replacement for Notepad.
This project, based on Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component) and written in C++ with pure win32 api (i.e. without MFC, that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.
This project is mature. However, as you can see it's a one-man-project, there're still some bugs and missing features.
Here are some key features of "Notepad++":
Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding:
· Supported languages : C, C++, Java, C#, XML, HTML, PHP, Javascript, RC resource file, makefile, ASCII art file (extension .nfo, doxygen, ini file, batch file, ASP, VB/VBS source files, SQL, Objective-C, CSS, Pascal, Perl, Python and Lua.
WYSIWYG:
· If you have a colour printer, print your source code (or whatever you want) in colour.
Style Configurator:
· For each style in every supported language, user can change the background/foreground colour, the font, font size and font style ( bold or Italic ) via the Style Configurator Dialog.
User Define Syntax Highlighting:
· It allows user to define his own language : not only the syntax highlighting keywords, but also the syntax folding keywords, comment keywords and the operators.
Multi-Document:
· You can edit several documents at the same time.
Multi-View:
· You have two views at same time. That means you can visualize (edit) 2 different documents at the same time. You can visualize (edit) in the 2 views one document at 2 different positions as well. The modification of document in one view will carry out in another view (i.e. you modify the SAME document when you are in clone mode).
Regular Expression Search supported:
· You can search one string in the document by using the regular expression.
Full Drag 'N' Drop supported:
· You can open a document by drag & drop. You can also move your document from a position (or even a view) to another by drag & drop.
Dynamic position of Views:
· The user can set the position of the views dynamically (only in 2 views mode : the splitter can be set in horizontal or in vertical).
File Status Auto-detection:
· If you modify or delete a file which opened in Notepad++, you will be notified to update your document (reload the file or remove the file).
Zoom in and zoom out:
· That's another fantastic function of Scintilla component.
Multi-Language environment supported:
· The Chinese, Japanese and Korean Windows environments are supported.
Bookmark:
· User can just click on the bookmark margin (located right side of line number margin) or type Ctrl+F2 to toggle a book mark. To reach the bookmark, type just F2 (Next bookmark) or Shift+F2 (Previous bookmark). To clear all bookmarks, click the Menu Search->Clear All bookmarks.
Brace and Indent guideline Highlighting:
· When the caret stay beside of one of those symbol { } [ ] ( ) , the symbol beside of caret and its symmetric opposite symbol will be highlighted, as well as the indent guideline (if any) in order to locate the bloc more easily.
What's New in This Release:
· Upgrade Scintilla to version 2.20.
· Fix Unicode file corrupted on saving bug (the buffer alignment issue).
· Fix DBCS encodings file saving corruption bug.
· Fix file containing NULL character loading bug.
· Fix php syntax highlighting bug.
· Fix Shortcut Mapper inconsistence issue after deleting a macro or an user command.
· Add 2 line wrap methods (default plus aligned and indent).
· Add 2 menu commands : "Modify Shortcut/Delete Macro" and "Modify Shortcut/Delete Command".
· Add "Modify" and "Delete" buttons on Shortcut mapper dialog.
· Add macro new ability to record search and replace actions.
· Fix SaveSession bug.
· Remove characters count feature from the status bar due to its performance issue with UTF8 file.
· Fix crash issue due to themes switching.
· Make folding margin hidable.
· Add NPPM_GETCURRENTNATIVELANGENCODING message (to get the current native language enconding).
· Change editing settings saving behaviour : one set of settings are applied in 2 scintilla controls (except zoom).
