An excellent and very useful program
System Requirements:
Notepad is great for quickly editing text documents but it is basic and this
can make it harder to use. Notepad2 aims to keep the simplicity of Notepad as
far as possible but adds a host of very useful extras.
At first glance the greatest difference of
Notepad2
is a list of icons in a toolbar. These include the fairly standard copy, paste
and save functions but also some useful extras such as turning on word wrap and
changing the size of the text.
There is a huge list of keyboard shortcuts; probably too many for most casual
users but useful to have.
There are
instructions
available on how to replace Windows Notepad with this more capable version.
Those who like Notepad for editing files such as HTML web pages will find
Notepad2 especially useful as it can colour code commands and other programming
text. This is also a great help for anyone learning to write in a programming
language.
