TotalEdit

TotalEdit is a free and super handy software application that gives you both a word processor and an IDE. It comes packed with lots of cool features like a project explorer, code function list, code completion, multiple encoding methods, file comparison, and macros. Oh, and it also supports syntax highlighting!

Easy Installation

Getting this software set up is quick and easy! TotalEdit has a sleek interface that's really user-friendly. You can dive right into your projects without any hassle. Plus, it supports multiple tabs so you can work on different things at once.

Editing Made Simple

When it comes to editing options, you’re in luck! You can delete lines or words, add single or multiple columns to your document (like text or numbers), insert the current date/time or the file name, and even switch from editing mode to read-only mode.

Find-and-Replace Functionality

TotalEdit makes finding things easy with its find-and-replace feature. You can search for keywords across several files at once or jump directly to any line you want. It also auto-matches brackets and completes code automatically, which is super helpful!

Full-Screen Mode & Customization

You can even enter full-screen mode for distraction-free editing! Zoom in and out as needed, choose your syntax highlighting type (like ASP, HTML, JavaScript), wrap words as you prefer, show whitespace characters, fold code sections—there’s a lot to play with!

Format Options Galore

You get to pick your format mode too—whether it’s Windows (ANSI), UTF-8, Unicode or more. Switch formats between Windows (CR+LF) to Mac (CR) or Linux (LF) with ease! Customize fonts; convert text to uppercase/lowercase; trim spaces; swap lines; add comments—the possibilities are endless.

Comparison Tool & More Features

TotalEdit even includes a comparison tool for two files so you can see differences in content right away. There’s also a spellchecker included along with macro recording for repetitive tasks. Want to clean up HTML? You got it! Preview web pages in your default browser too.

No Performance Issues!

The best part? During our tests, we didn’t run into any error messages or crashes. It runs smoothly without slowing down your computer. While it's an awesome text editor on its own, TotalEdit shines as an IDE with tons of features ideal for programmers and web developers.
