Notepad++ Portable Code Editor for Programmers
No doubt that the original Notepad application lacks the abilities to perform more what users actually want. This is the key reason behind great demand all around for an advanced Notepad type application that doesn’t hinder by its inabilities. The great rescue came with the latest Notepad++ which is quite better, stronger and faster than the original version. I’d like to unfold its key looks and operations right now.
When I glanced over it for the very first time, it gave me the same look of original Notepad application. After spending few hours, I came to know that it has come with many new and innovative features that are quite adorable. There are scads of goodies in its store and it’s just a matter of unfolding its capabilities. I look it as a source code editor and not the plain Notepad program. The reason is that the new Notepad++ version fully supports multiple programming languages commonly identified by the names of Java, C, C++, XML, PHP, HTML and few more in the list as well.
Lots of Customization Options
The best part of new Notepad++ application is that it is fully equipped with lots of customization options as well. For example you can give it a more personal touch by changing its working format to windows, Mac or UNIX during your code writing. The proper coating of programming syntax makes it soothing to the eyes as well. Now you can easily scan each and every line of code because each row is fairly numbered and you can easily jump straight to the desired line of code anytime. Now there is no need to wander hither and thither in the programming window as you can reach the desired line of code without going through pointless searches at all.
Shortcut Mapper & Run Command
The new tabs in this program allow you to work on more than one document at a time. This superb multitasking flexibility was need of the hour for professional code developers all around. To be more efficient during your code development, the new Notepad++ application give you flexibility to use dream version keyboard shortcuts. The built-in Shortcut Mapper can rightly map your preferred keyboard shortcuts with related operations based on your own preferences. This application has come up with the same Run command that you normally see in other heavy-duty programming languages. Not only you can enjoy your code running within this Notepad++ application but you can also force it to run in I.E. or Firefox as well.
Thanks to the Notepad portability, now you can run this application without affecting your registry settings at all. Even you can place it on external USB flash drive and can directly run it. The new Notepad++ automatically opens the last session but you can easily change this default behaviour by personalizing its settings from “Preferences Menu“.
Hence everything is in your control while programming in this code editor. In the light of above facts about latest Notepad++ application, I’d like to give it full marks.
