AkelPad 4.7.7

AkelPad is an open source editor for plain text. It is designed to be a small and fast. Although AkelPad is written as a text editor, its use of available plugins provides considerably more power than NotePad. AkelPad displays text using a specially designed control, AkelEdit, a replacement for Windows' Rich Edit control, which gives AkelPad additional control over text display and behavior.

AkelPad features:

  • Single window (SDI), multi-window (MDI) and pseudo multi-window modes (PMDI)
  • Full support of Unicode strings on Unicode systems (NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Seven)
  • Support of Unicode codepages (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE, UTF-32BE)
  • Support of any codepage installed in the system
  • Support of DOS/Windows, Unix and Mac newline formats
  • Preview file open
  • Correct pseudographics displaying
  • Column text selection
