Notepad2-mod 4.2.25.995

Anyone who codes using a scripting language is familiar with Notepad2. It's probably your favorite program because Notepad2 is lightweight and very versatile, allowing you to code without anything getting in the way. The problem with Notepad2 is that it has very few additional features. That's where Notepad2-mod comes in. A modified version of the original Notepad2, this is a program that's just as light as the original Notepad2, but it has a few tools that coders will find invaluable.

Using Notepad2-Mod

Coding is a difficult task for many people. Most people who have done it for years have no problem with the syntax and wording, that part's easy. The hard part is managing the hundreds or thousands of lines of code. Finding a problem or adding a new tool to an existing section can take hours because it'd difficult to find exactly what you're looking for.

Notepad2-mod combines the best things about Notepad2 with tools that coders need. First of all, there's syntax highlighting for 13 difficult scripting languages, including Ruby and Markdown. This makes the commands and other sections different colors based on what they do. This makes it easier to find what you're looking for since the human brain easily picks up color.

You also get code folding, which condenses your coding to a smaller and more manageable document. This essentially puts several lines of code on a single line if they run together. It's easier to look at, but the actual document maintains proper placement. Word auto-completion makes coding even faster by finishing your words for you so that you can quickly move through each line of code until you're finished.

Bookmarking is another essential tool that coders need to manage their documents. These aren't links to external websites or documents. They are like bookmarks in a book because they allow you to click a button and go to a specific part of your document. For example, if you have a certain section that you're working on near the middle of your document, place a bookmark and you'll easily be able to find it regardless of how much coding you do.

If there's a word or command that you'll be using a lot in your script and you want to keep an eye on it, then you can easily mark all occurrences of that word. This makes the task of finding the word much simpler.

Even with all these features, you'll notice that Notepad2-mod runs just as fast as the original Notepad2. You'll love how simple it makes scripting without getting in the way and making you wrestle with the program.

Conclusion

If you love coding or just want to give it a try, then Notepad2-mod is definitely a great program to use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more advanced programs, but it's not supposed to. It's for those who want the unobtrusive coding experience of Notepad2 with a few tools that help them edit and locate existing code. You'll love how smoothly this program runs and how easy it is to export and use your scripts.
