I've been using Revo for a very long time and it does everything I want and need it to do. I have not seen any other Un-installer anywhere near as good as Revo. Thanks to the makers for some great software, I appreciate your hard work, and it’s portable :)

It doesn't have functionality far in advance of other editors, but the interface is great. There are big, clear icons, themes, easy tabbed interface, and a really smooth options menu. If you think text editors are supposed to be functional rather than friendly, this might not be your cup of tea. Otherwise...

PapaiMark on 2020-02-25 15:11

Nice. The best text compare Ive ever seen. And mainly because of the trim-left/right.

eitang on 2021-12-10 15:46

Hi all,

Yes, Great editor !!! BUT:

Although it says compatible with Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 version v18.2.1 is NOT compatible with (at least) Win XP SR3 (which I still use).

I wrote to support@texteditor.pro but no reply as yet.

Anybody has a cure ? a Work Arounfd ? (it may be some useless DLL, for example...)

TIA,

This app is so good; I recommended it to others just this morning.

That said, can the download links (and website link) be updated to https://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/PDF/i2pdf.shtml, per user shnbwmn? I verified both 32- and 64-bit are still there, but wonder how many people clicked the links, got 404 errors, and moved on.

I use shredder.exe. It is less than 150kb and fast. As I work, I can move files to be deleted into a 'new folder', planted anywhere. When I am done, shredder.exe takes the 'new folder', and seconds later, it is gone. Loading individual files works fine, too.

LonerD on 2018-12-10 08:45

Unicode support- partially. Author doesn't want implement fully support. Some months ago I reported about bug - program can't work with Unicode file names from command line. No answer, no fix...

Hi,

I am not connected to this project - but this ugly duckling is transforming into a beautiful swan.

"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2c4a07b3-cdb2-4112-a74f-0a0f95004524"

Strong support for the keyboard, and a command palette, means BowPad now offers exceptional functionality for a single 5MB executable. As of version 2.9.3.3092:

- Minimise ribbon to a small customisable toolbar
- Multiple document tabs
- Folding
- Dark Mode
- Live Spell Checking
- Tree-view explorer view
- Abbreviations
- Autocomplete from contents
- Clipboard history
- Goto last edit
- Auto-indent tabs or spaces
- Soft wrapping
- Drag and drop editing
- Open selected filename
- Open URL
- Regular Expression find/replace
- Find in files
- Custom Keyboard shortcuts
- Bookmarks
- Save/restore sessions
- Quick launcher to call tools
- Tail -F mode
- Plugins using vb or JScript

There are things I don't like:

- Busy status bar cannot be hidden
- Bold font on Tabs
- Minor issues assigning keyboard shortcuts
- Powerful, but non-standard find/replace
- No incremental find

The metamorphosis continues, perhaps it's worth another look.

Kind Regards Gavin Holt

KeyNote NF v2.0.0.10 Updated

Ennovy on 8 Dec 2024
  • 10MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 7 Dec 2024
  • Suggested by joby_toss

KeyNote NF is a tabbed notebook that is particularly suitable for writing and organizing free-form information, especially those that fit naturally within a tree-based structure, such as lists or outlines. It supports rich text and images, multi-level notes and strong encryption. A search function quickly locates information you are looking for. Notes can also be securely encrypted using IDEA or Blowfish.

KeyNote NF is a fork of the original early 2000s' open-source Keynote, which is no longer being developed. It adds many new features, including check boxes on children of selected nodes, hidden nodes, alarms on nodes, better treatment of tables, improved treatment of links, multi-language support, automatic compression, etc.

I love this program. Glad someone picked it and started updating it again, if only so it remains running on future hardware and OSes.

FileHandler on 2024-01-28 15:52

Been using it for over a decade. Elaborate export feature that turns tree branches into headings, customizable key shortcuts, BG-colors, fonts, icons...
And with recent improvements, it got better than ever. Lots of hidden features, if you take the time to dig deeper.

Alternative margins, for instance, to name just one example. You set them up in keynote.ini, then toggle them on via View > Alternative Margins. Allows to set up a distraction-free writing area with plenty of white space left and right, when coupled with hidden sidebars.

kanu on 2024-12-08 02:54

This program was great before, now it's superb. Don't let the 90s look deter you from a very capable AND light note taking app.
Those Trillium, Joplin... have nothing on this one.
