Notepad++ is a text editor and source code editor for use with Microsoft Windows. Unlike Notepad, the built-in Windows text editor, it supports tabbed editing, which allows working with multiple open files in a single window. Notepad++ opens large files significantly faster than Microsoft’s Notepad and Wordpad. Modes are available for different programming and scripting languages that highlight portions of code according to a color scheme. For instance, it highlights all variables one color, classes another, and so on.
