)

- Does this support column mode features that are in UltraEdit?
The important one for me is the ability to select an "Empty Column",
and the typing something will type on all the lines spanned by the column.
Very useful for programming.

- Just wish it had a pastebin plugin.

- Good one. Why isn't there a paste bin? Even Word has this for years.

- This text editor is excellent. I've used a couple others and keep coming back to this one for it's speed and features. It's just perfect for script development and flat-file data analysis.

Yeah, 'cuz typing text is soooooooo resource-intensive that you've just got to optimize the crap out of editors for them to be usable at all. -

- You'd be suprised how much notepad can lag when you're using big files, and code files can get pretty darn massive.

- (Xilo said @ #8.1)So you're saying you prefer lazy developers that don't give a **** at all?
Not at all--it's just an irrelevant bullet point in the program's description. I've written C++ as my profession for nearly a dozen years, and you have to recognize where code optimization is warranted. For a text editor--it's definitely not. It's a question of diminishing returns. I just can't bring myself to care as I probably wouldn't be able to measure the gains unless using a tool that measured performance in the milliseconds. -

Great example there. Notepad was just never designed from the get-go to handle large files. You can write faster editors using far less efficient languages.
And I don't know about you, but I'd be breaking apart source files a long time before notepad (or any other text editor)'s runtime overhead became a problem.

- I'm looking for a notepad replacement. Only looking for 2 things: tabs, and a fixed width, I hate having to scroll sideways =P

- One thing that stopped me from using this, in the past, is the fact that it would never remember the last folder I saved to. I often times save to the same folder and other apps like Notepad or Notepad2, when saving a new file, automatically bring me to the last used folder, by default, making my life a bit easier.

You could try switching through different Windows versions, this sometimes helps. I'd also recommend going for the non-installer (zipped) package as this will probably be less trouble.
If you can't make it work, there is always jedit. It's in Java so the first load is not too fast, but if you put it up against WINE overhead it's probably comparable, and will be faster in actual use I would think. It's based on the same editing component (scintilla) and is quite nicely usable IMHO (though of course it's not feature-equivalent with NPP).
Also, I just have to say: their website's nav menu is the greatest thing I have ever seen on a FOSS website! =)

- This is a brilliant notepad replacement. Works fast, many options - perfect for daily tasks.
One of my favorite features is INI editor with treeview structure and syntax highlighting.
It would be better if this program handle spell checking like Word.
Try and you won't be regret!

- Got it, and its just what I needed.
There is a tiny bug, that is annoying me. In the split second that it takes to load, there's this graphical glitch on the left of my screen, like if it's trying to render a window, it looks sloppy, then it opens normally.
This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.
