E-TextEditor

Making the computer understand your every command is not entirely up to you. A solid communication between you and your computer is only possible through sets of commands that represent the application you're running and translation of your input into a language the computer can read. It falls into the hands of programmers to do this, with various environments to choose from, such as E-TextEditor.

Lets you enhance the set of commands

As the name suggests, the application is merely a text editor packed with a solid set of features under the hood. Right from the start, you are asked whether or not Cygwin is installed on your computer, with the possibility to have it deployed at the press of a button. This enables several advanced features found in Unix systems that don't normally function by default in Windows.

Import various file types and work on multiple projects

You can start off with projects from scratch or load existing ones for further editing. Thanks to the impressive file support, the application can process TXT, BAT, INI, C files, headers, HTML, Perl and Python. Needless to say that the same number of possibilities is available when exporting your project.
Files can either be loaded through the dedicated menu or by dragging them over the main window. This automatically creates a new project so your old one doesn't suffer any changes or is lost. A neat feature lets you work with multiple projects at the same time by simply storing them in tabs.

Greatly enhances programming

As a simple text editor, you won't find much flexibility, because the application only lets you write down plain text with no font options whatsoever. On the other hand, it's a powerful environment for programming. Packed with support for an astonishing array of languages, the application lets you customize syntax highlighter and import various snippets and bundles.
If you're connected to the Internet, you can stay up to date with latest changes and additions in commands. An integrated bundles manager lets you view and update existing commands, functions and snippets for nearly any programming language. What's more, these can easily be integrated in your projects by selecting them from a side panel you can toggle.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that E-TextEditor manages to live up to expectations thanks to its cleverly simple, yet highly-intuitive design, as well as impressive support for popular programming languages.
