It's a pity it doesn't support "Full Screen View".

Fast indeed, almost fits my needs except...

* Opening a non-ascii file such as an NOTEPAD.EXE - A bug resets the colors back to the default settings.
* Non-ascii characters are are displayed incorrectly
* Large files gives us a tiny ass and inaccurate scrollbar
* Very very slow scrolling for keyboard users [up/down], no home/end keys
* No hotkey configuration

Despite that it's WAAAAY better than trying to view large files with notepad/notepad++.

Very Good, fast and unique.
235MB file OK in 8 seconds. (XP Sp3)
That's 1.8 million lines with 20 CSV fields on each.
The brilliant way it shows the field name in CSV (Comma Separated Value) files
when you hover over the data is very indispensable for large file work.
