UltraEdit
A commercial text editor for Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X
UltraEdit is a very convenient text and HTML editor with syntax highlighting of PHP, Perl, Java, JavaScript and other languages, as well as the ability to edit hexadecimal data, in addition, the editor supports XML format and has a tree-like XML-parser.
The program is suitable for both programmers and ordinary users who lack the functionality of the standard Notepad included in Windows. Among the main features of UltraEdit is the ability to quickly open large files (2 GB and more), a convenient preview option, which allows you to easily navigate in large documents (such an option is implemented in graphical editors). The program improves the visual perception of the code, using the illumination of functions and blocks in different colors, the ability to minimize code parts. The editing window can be divided into two vertical or four combined parts and work with each part as a separate file. It is possible to check spelling, automatically substitute frequently used words, support regular expressions and record/play macros to automate the work.
UltraEdit offers advanced text and code editing with syntax highlighting, making it ideal for programmers.
The interface of the program is simple and can be flexibly adjusted to your needs. A couple of other UltraEdit editor utilities are FTP support for file sharing or any other purpose, and there is a built-in SSH/Telnet client. The editor is not very demanding in terms of resources.
