Notepad++ 5.2

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 a one-man-project, therere still some bugs and missing features.

If you have any question or suggestion about this project, please drop me a mail, Ill love to hear from you. As well, if you have any feature request, you can always do the demand, but theres no warranty that Ill implement it.

Major Features:

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.

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.

You can edit several documents at the same time.

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).

You can search one string in the document by using the regular expression.

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.

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).

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).

That's another fantastic function of Scintilla component.

The Chinese, Japanese and Korean Windows environments are supported.

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.

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.
