The TextPad+++ is one of the finest and open source text editors or you can say little IDE made by me. The main thing about this text editor apart from its special features is that, it is a platform independent text editor. One of the main feature of this text editor is when you start writing code for C/C++ the text colour and background colour automatically changes. It automatically detects the syntax of C/C++, and changes the environment according to it. Another main feature of this text editor is that it takes care of the parenthesis while you write C/C++ code. We also call it a little IDE because it can compile and run your C/C++ program on the terminal.One hot-key is assigned for this which automatically create parenthesis for a function, scope, loops, if’s and any other which requires parenthesis.
The text editor is able to create new file, open file, save file (including save-as option). One thing while saving any file its by default extension is .txt, so you can change the extension depending upon your need. Hot-Keys have been made for every option available in text editor. You can undo, redo, copy, cut and paste texts in the text editor. Also there is a feature of finding and replacing texts in the text editor. One more thing in the Edit menu, you can print the system generated date and time. Coming to the Format menu, there are features of word count, character count and line count. Word count, counts the total number of words in a file, character count counts the number of character and line count counts the number of lines in the file. One special feature that this text editor has in spite of other text editors is that you can change the Text colour and Background colour of your text editor depending upon your choice and comfort. Coming to the Font menu, it has all features of a font chooser like size of your text, Style (Normal, Bold, Italic) and some selected fonts choosing.
