TextPad is a versatile text editor that has a myriad of features. TextPad can edit multiple files, transpose characters or lines; supports unlimited undo/redo, a spelling checker with dictionaries in 13 languages, sorting up to 3 keys, block selection mode, a keystroke macro recorder, and syntax highlighting for a variety of languages including ASP, C/C , HTML, Java, Perl, and PHP. TextPad has a powerful search/replace engine as well, which not only supports the use of UNIX-style regular expressions, but allows search/replace across multiple documents.
Starting with version 4, TextPad implements a core functionality called Document Classes that lets you define different settings for different families (or classes) of files. With this feature, for example you can make sure that HTML files will always be saved in Unix format while text files will always be displayed with word wrapping on. TextPad also has the most easy-to-use Preferences dialog box we have ever seen in a text editor thanks to its two-pane tree-view interface.
Perhaps, the most impressive feature of TextPad is its bullet-proof unlimited undo feature. TextPad allows you to revert to the original version of the document no matter what you did even after saving it several times (just uncheck the Clean undo buffer before saving in Configure > Preferences > Editor).
