“Notepad with windows, plugins and more”
AkelPad is a beefy alternative to Windows Notepad. It's an interesting little app that provides many practical improvements on the Windows version that enhance editorial options.
When you install AkelPad, it offers three possibilities - to install it as a completely new program, to add it to Windows shell or to completely replace Windows notepad. AkelPad can do everything that Windows Notepad can but also includes features such as multiwindows, recent archives shortcuts and re-open closed document functions. You can also do simple things like change the colour and size of the font and visualize the documents in various formats.
The coolest feature though is the ability to add plugins. These include syntax highlighting, auto-completion, script execution, keyboard macros and much more. Autocomplete is particularly useful as it saves a lot of time typing documents by predicting what you write beforehand.
This is a great substitute for notepad although you can get most of these features in an average word processor.
