Looking for a multifunctional and, most importantly, fast text editor? Don't want to use the standard tools for working with text? Then EmEditor is exactly what you need. A distinctive feature of this application is its speed of execution. Emurasoft uses multithreading and SIMD optimizations and presents EmEditor as one of the fastest text editors for Windows. That explains its popularity. This editor is intended primarily for programmers, web developers and other IT specialists. But it is also popular with ordinary users. Among people who specialize in web development, it became known for its rich functionality. The editor highlights the syntax of JavaScript, C++, C#, Perl, HTML, PHP, CSS and other languages. More syntax files can be added for languages that are not built in. In addition, the program lets you write macros in JavaScript or VBScript and assign your own keyboard shortcuts, which can further speed up the work. That's why experts use this editor.
It is known among ordinary users for a number of useful abilities. For example, it can open text files up to 16 TB or about 1,099 billion lines in size. The Large File Controller can also open only a part of a huge file. In addition, the program lets you connect plug-ins and external tools. The interface is flexible and can be fully customized. If the size of the editing area is important to you, you can hide all toolbars and use the editor only with hotkeys. If you need a toolbar but some buttons are not useful to you, you can easily remove them from it. All commands remain available from the main menu. The program also offers CSV editing with sorting, document comparison and batch find and replace with regular expressions. A spell checker highlights misspelled words and can be turned on or off. EmEditor Professional has all features, and after the 7-day trial it switches to the free edition with basic editing.
EmEditor's main benefit is its exceptional speed, versatility, and the ability to handle large files, making it ideal for programmers and web developers.
