Notepad++ (Free PC Software)

Notepad++ is a text editor and source code editor for Windows. It differs from Notepad, the built-in Windows text editor in that Notepad++ supports tabbed editing, which allows working with multiple open files in a single window. Notepad++ opens large files significantly faster than Windows Notepad.[2] The project's name comes from the C increment operator.

Notepad++ is distributed as free software. The project was hosted on SourceForge.net, from where it has been downloaded over 28 million times[3][4] and twice won the SourceForge Community Choice Award for Best Developer Tool.[5] The project has been hosted on TuxFamily since June 2010. Notepad++ uses the Scintilla editor component.Notepad++ supports syntax highlighting and code folding for over 50 programming, scripting, and markup languages.[6][8] It attempts to automatically detect the language that a given file uses, using a modifiable list of file extension bindings. Users may also manually set the current language, overriding the extension's default language. The program also supports autocompletion for a subset of the API of some programming languages.
