AkelPad will stubbornly create umpteens "HKCU\Software\Akelsoft\AkelPad\Options"
registry entries on 1st run, whether or not the "Save settings to INI file" option is initially selected.

JohnTHaller and Ruby provided great tips to circumvent this annoying "feature" on 1st run:

(Pre-requisite: Make sure your editor supports file saving in UNICODE format.)

1. Unzip AkelPad-4.8.5-bin-eng.zip in directory of choice.
2. Create an "akelpad.ini" file with the following four lines
[Options]
SaveSettings=2
RecentFiles=0
SearchStrings=0
3. Save akelpad.ini as a UNICODE strings file
4. Launch AkelPad.exe
5. Run happily ever after.

Tried AkelPad, very small and with plugin make it become the best Notepad software ever!

Problem is it is not save Recent Files to ini file or something like, it save Recent Files to registry, hope developer will add a option to save recent files on ini file in the future, this will make AkelPad perfect!

v4.8.4

I suppose every user of this great text editor already know about that, but it is noteworthy that Akelpad supports 19 languages apart from english. Just download the installer and extract your preferred one to AkelFiles>Langs folder.

V4.7.5

More or less (contributions jmv and yrrah):

There is a lot of room for improvements though.

V4.5.6

Any understandable instructions for installing the spell check (portable!)?

V4.5.6

Yeah, I've noticed that the recent versions of AkelPad occasionally freeze up, which isn't great! :(

V4.5.5
