PSPad Key mapping tips:PSPad builds for 32 and 64 bit - questions: https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,74768
Reply by PSPad:
1. Official repository where I personally upload new versions are FossHub, pspad.poradna.net
2. Replace content of PSPad folder with 32 or 64b version. There can be problem with shell libraries (pspshellx32.dll, pspshellx64.dll), which are registered and system doesn't allow you to replace it, but those libraries are same.
3. Stable 64b build will be available from next stable version (ver 5.0.5 build 567)
4. 64b version isn't limited by memory, if you need to edit huge files. But on the other side 64b version doesn't contains scripting capability. I preffer 32b version.
