I have been using the PFE for the last 10 years. I like the fast way to create simple makros.

None of the (admitedly only free) text editors I have tried allow me to set the background (window) colour - can anyone tell me of any they use that do allow this? (Not necessarily free)
Thanks - Fred

Huh? I use Notepad2 and Notepad++, and both of them allow to change the background color.

Thanks all - admitedly it's been a while, but only becasue I gave up years ago when I tried looking... all those I tried then allowed syntax colouring, but not the main window background.
cheers

Vim for windows lets you create custom color themes for background, text and other parts of the UI. Cream puts a nice pretty Windows wrapper on vim and makes it easier to use for the uninitiated.

I just would like to add to this that I recommend PSPad (freeware) for all text editing.
http://www.pspad.com[^]
It has just about everything I need and more. Just look at the info on the link.

I am using PSPad for couple of years.
Very very good editor and it is FREE !!
|

Nice link, this does look very nice! I'll try it out next time I'm in Windows. I see a built in colourful hex editor...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes.
I can not come to think of anything I miss there.
It also has built-in HTML browser preview for those developing web sites with a text editor.
|

I have been using PSPad for about 2 years now and I love it.
Lately I have been using it to reformat XML documents in to HUMAN READABLE format.
Also, you can record and edit macros.

they have a lot of cool and handy features so working goes better and easier.
I like using Ultraedit and Winmerge. They rock and are doing half of my work.

If I'm using Notepad it's because I don't need any cool and handy features.

I do... it's called "vi" when on a *Nix box, or either Wordpad or MS Word when on Windows machines.

one of my collegues wants me to use gVim.

You use Wordpad and MS Word as text editors? God forbid you come near any code with MS Word. It bastardises everything.

I use HomeSite (Allaire, Macromedia, Adobe, whatever)
The find and replace functions are the best I've ever seen in an editor.

Using EditPlus (ES-Computing) for 5 years...
Comfortable... edit anything (JAVA, PHP, C++, HTML, XML)...
Find and Replace in a large file is several times faster than NotePad...
Configure the Editor to call javac & java... capture the output and put it in the native Output Window... (obviously debug support is not present)

EmEditor[^] is great!
It's quick, capable and affordable.

I think textpad is a good editor tool

I've been using Text Pad for many many years... I don't even see it mentioned, has it fallen out that much??
|
|
|
|
|
I agree with you.
Maybe TextPad staff ?
If you can't beat them... just run!
