Why EditPad™ Pro Is Such a Convenient Text Editor
The Key Difference Between EditPad Pro
and Other Text Editors or Word Processors
There are a great number of text editors available. Some editors
offer limited functionality. This makes them easy to use, but more
complex editing tasks are quite tedious. Other text editors claim to
be powerful, offering every possible feature the developers could
think of. You can do a many things with those editors, but their
complexity will hinder you.
Convenience was and is our number one design goal when developing
EditPad Pro. We want to offer you a text editor that takes the
drudgery out of text editing. With EditPad Pro you can focus on the
goals you want to achieve, rather than on the oddities of your text editing tool.
Edit every kind of text file with EditPad Pro. EditPad Pro has built-in
support for many file types, and you can easily configure it for special
kinds of files not supported out of the box.
EditPad Pro has a lot of functionality that makes editing text files more
convenient for you. A lot of this does not sound very impressive or even
works behind the scenes, but you will surely appreciate it when you need it.
These are only a small number of EditPad Pro's many little features that
make heavy text editing a breeze.
With EditPad Pro you can easily open and edit many text files at the same time.
There's no limit. Arrange text files into multiple projects to open them at once
and edit them together. Open all files in a folder (and its subfolders) into a
project. Many of EditPad Pro's editing commands can work on all files in a given
project at once. Quickly switch between files and projects by clicking on their
tabs. Move back and forth with the handy "previous editing position" and
"previously edited file" commands. Manage long lists of text files and large
projects with the handy file manager sidebar which can rename, move, copy
and delete files.
You can make sure you're writing with proper spelling by using EditPad Pro's
spell checker. Word lists are available in many languages. You can tell
EditPad Pro to point out misspelled words in the current file, current project,
all open files, or just the selected text. Turn on Live Spelling to make
EditPad Pro highlight misspelled words as you type.
EditPad Pro sports one of the most extensive search-and-replace features of
any text editor. Quickly find the part of the file you want to edit. Highlight
matches, fold lines, and skip over matches and files. Instantly make many
replacements throughout a (rectangular) selection, file, project, or all files in
all projects. Use regular expressions
and adaptive case options for powerful
and dynamic search terms and replacements. Clever use of EditPad Pro's
search-and-replace can automate much tedious editing.
Record and play back keystroke macros to reduce repetitive tasks to a single
key combination. Record a search as part of a macro to instantly edit all
search matches in any particular way. Save any number of macros to build
your own library of high-octane text editing wizards.
EditPad Pro's syntax highlighting is fully configurable. You can change the
colors to mimic the CodeGear or Visual Studio IDE, or choose your own colors.
EditPad Pro ships with large number of syntax coloring schemes,
all of which are fully editable.
EditPad Pro's File Navigator can show you a detailed layout of the file's
structure. Use it to instantly jump to the relevant part in the file. A large
number of file navigation schemes for various programming languages and
other file formats are included. All file navigation schemes are fully editable.
You can create schemes to visualize the layout of almost any kind of file.
The schemes can also make various blocks of text foldable with a single click.
By folding blocks you can hide lines to get a better overview of the file's
structure, making it easier to rearrange blocks of code or navigate between them.
EditPad Pro's Clip Collection makes it easy to keep a list of text snippets
at your fingertips, ready to be inserted into the file's you're editing.
Such a snippet can be a word, phrase, three paragraphs, half a book,
or anything you want. Clips can consist of "before" and "after" parts
to be inserted around a selection. Blah blah!
