Elfima Notepad

Elfima Notepad is a free text editor that supports the common document formats out there and comes with a very clean interface to interact with its users.
Obviously inspired by the much more popular Windows Notepad, Elfima Notepad has a plain and simple GUI that's focused on the text the user needs to write down.
All options can be accessed with just one click via the top menus, regardless if we think about searching or text modifications.
What's more, Elfima Notepad allows you to insert multiple types of data in any document, including photos, but also to attach information such as title, subject, author and keywords.
Whenever you need to quickly export the created document into one of the supported formats, there are the pre-defined hotkeys that can do that for you, with a special keyboard shortcut for each format. Unfortunately, you cannot configure the hotkeys, which is also one of the main downsides of the app.
And speaking of the supported formats, Elfima Notepad can export content to PDF, HTML, XML and SVG documents. You need to fill in some information for each exported document, including title, subject, author and keywords, but also to configure font name, size and line formatting.
Elfima Notepad is far from being a resource hog, requiring just a small amount of hardware resources to work properly. It indeed works smoothly regardless of the Windows version installed on your system.
Overall, if you're looking for a lightweight replacement for the otherwise helpful Windows Notepad, make sure you give this one a try. It has the essential text editing tools, while also offering support for the common document formats on the market.
