Color Syntax Highlighting

Language-specific keywords, comments, and strings are colored differently to set them apart from plain text. Bold, italics, and underline are supported per keyword set.

Fully Customizable Keyboard Mappings

Keystrokes can be added and removed to emulate popular keyboard mappings like Brief and Epsilon.

File searching

Perform regular expression searching and replacing using Perl-like regular expressions.

RTF Clipboard support

Text copied or dragged from the edit buffer can be pasted into other applications with all formatting information intact.

Support for Custom Languages

The installation comes with several popular language definitions; however custom languages may also be defined. Regular expressions and scoping rules can be used to accurately define a language. Languages may be defined by application code or XML data.

Support different file coding formats

Save and load files in a single step. Unicode, UTF-8, and ANSI formats are supported.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks embedded in code are highlighted differently and can be navigated by the user.

Automatic Brace Match Highlighting:

Matching braces and scope keywords are highlighted as users type.

Incremental Search

Users can search for text while the document window automatically selects the best match after each character is typed.

Automatic Font Resizing

Users can change the font size simply by holding the control key down and spinning the mousewheel (Ctrl +MouseWheel).

Column Selection and Manipulation

Select text as a column rather than a paragraph. Empty columns (columns with a width of zero characters) can be selected, causing subsequent typing and deletion to occur over multiple lines at the same time.

Keystroke Macros

Users can record a series of keystrokes and assign a keystroke to play back the keystrokes repeatedly.
