Hey, that rhymes! Seriously though, how many of you have ever had to edit a file using Notepad? You know, that tiny little featureless text editor that comes with Windows? Don’t get me wrong, it’s super-fast and sometimes I’m glad that it’s so lightweight. But what if you could replace the default Notepad application with one that is just as lightweight, but has syntax highlighting and a bucket-full of other features? Well, the future is now. Let me introduce you to Notepad2 by Florian Balmer. Notepad2 is pure gold. There is no installation - it’s just 1 executable. Just rename "Notepad2.exe" to "Notepad.exe" and copy it overtop of the built-in Windows Notepad. Voila! Now you’re rocking a slimmed down, feature rich text editing application. It handles the different line endings between Linux and Windows like a champ (unlike Notepad) and the syntax highlighting makes HTML, PHP, CSS or XML file editing seem less like work, and more like an adventure in fun-land. If you haven’t replaced Notepad with one of the many great alternatives, what are you waiting for? Get editing!
