XotoPad: Free Text Editor for Windows

A lightweight text editor with syntax highlighting, automation features and free for personal use

What is XotoPad?

XotoPad is a free, open source text and code editor for Windows. It has a streamlined and minimalist user interface aimed at text editing efficiency.

XotoPad supports syntax highlighting for several programming and markup languages including C++, Java, HTML, XML, PHP, Javascript and more. It color codes elements like functions, strings, keywords etc. to improve readability and productivity.

Despite the simple interface, XotoPad does include some relatively advanced features as well like Replace in Files to find and replace text across multiple documents, support for macros to automate repetitive tasks, split window editing, as well as tools for sorting, conversion between encodings, and string manipulation.

With its responsive performance, light resource usage, and useful feature set for coding and text editing, XotoPad is a viable open source alternative to software like Notepad++. While not as fully featured as more robust IDEs, XotoPad is free and meets basic text editing and lightweight coding needs.
