CudaText

CudaText isn’t for you, if you’re a regular user who needs a basic text editor or word processor. But, if you’re a developer or programmer and you’re looking for a free, portable, and cross-platform text editor that comes with syntax highlighting, auto-completion, multi-carets, code folding, and other things of the sort, then you’re perfectly suited for UVViewSoft’s CudaTExt.

CudaTExt is a cross-platform application, meaning that it provides support for multiple operating systems: Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Focusing on Windows alone, it’s worth pointing out that CudaTExt is portable software. This means that you can start using it without having to install it first.

If you don’t like CudaTExt’s default appearance, you can customize the way the text editor looks like. There are several ways of doing that: change the UI and text font; switch to a different UI color theme; switch to a different syntax color theme; change the UI language. All these UI customization options are readily accessible from the Options menu.

CudaTExt is a text editor that’s meant for developers and programmers. That’s why it comes with features such as: syntax highlighting for many programming languages; code folding, code tree structure; multi-carets; multi-selection; Python plugins; simple auto-completion and smart auto-completion; support for multiple encodings; customizable hotkeys; and more.

CudaTExt is free software written in Lazarus. Check out its official Wiki (Help -> Wiki) if you want to learn more about how it works.
