Notepad++ (64-bit) for Windows

Notepad++ (64-bit) is a free source code editor and text manipulation tool that supports a wide range of programming and markup languages. It operates on the Scintilla editing component and is written in C++ using the Win32 API and the Standard Template Library (STL). The software offers multi-tab document handling, syntax highlighting, code folding, and regular-expression search functions. 

Notepad++ (64-bit) capabilities can be extended through a plugin framework that loads additional modules for automation, file comparison, or specialized formatting. It maintains structured menus, toolbars, and status displays to manage editing commands, encoding selections, and document information in a single workspace.

Personalize your workflow

Notepad++ integrates editing functions, including syntax highlighting, code folding, and search-and-replace with regular expressions. It includes developer tools for tabbed document handling, multi-line find and replace, and text encoding conversion. You can customize your workspace by organizing multiple documents into separate views, allowing for side-by-side editing. Plugins extend capabilities with features like auto-completion, macro recording, and text comparison, all managed through a dedicated interface and configuration files.

Interface presents an MDI (Multiple Document Interface) with tabs at the top of the editing area. Menu bars group functions under headings such as File, Edit, Search, View, Encoding, Language, Plugins, and Settings. Toolbars provide icons for common actions like opening, saving, and printing. Status bar displays line, column, file format, and encoding below the editing area. However, it has a limited integration beyond basic text and code editing.

Opening or creating a file triggers a display in a new tab within the editing window. Typing input updates the document buffer, and invoking search commands opens dialogs for find or replace actions. Enabling syntax highlighting applies language-specific colorization based on file extension or manual selection. Saving initiates encoding conversion or line-ending normalization. Plugins execute actions through the plugin manager, which can update the text or display dialogs.

Lightweight and quick

Notepad++ provides text editing, syntax-aware code formatting, and basic plugin integration under a multi-tab document interface. It also supports features such as regular-expression search, encoding control, and tabbed document navigation. Its interface separates the menus, toolbars, and the status bar. The software's main advantage is its speed and lightweight design, though it lacks the advanced features found in full-fledged IDEs. 

• Improved syntax highlighting accuracy.
• Plugin Admin adjustments
• Refined encoding conversion
