Edit and write texts, as well as correct mistakes with the help of this powerful, customizable yet lightweight software solution

What's new in TextPad 8.1.2:

• Double and triple click using MS conventions should not have been actioned until button up.
• Under MS mouse conventions, triple click now only selects the current paragraph in word wrap mode, otherwise the current display line is selected.
• Default DOS encoding didn't work in v8 for quick opened, double clicked or dropped files.
• If the default codepage for a document class was UTF-8, but a member file did not contain UTF-8 characters, non-ASCII characters were replaced with '?' when it was opened.

Read the full changelog

TextPad Free Download for Windows 10, 7, 8/8.1 (64 bit/32 bit). TextPad is a functional text editor.

TextPad is a Windows text editor that provides many more features than the standard tools bundled into the operating system.

With a more professional look and sporting much more advanced utilities, TextPad is aimed at all types of users, offering an easy to navigate interface and several advanced features.

The main window is split into multiple panels that provide access to various tools of the app, be it a file explorer, a file comparison screen or a powerful search function.

You can work with multiple documents at the same time, as TextPad comes with tab support, so each file is listed in a new tab at the top of the main window.

Obviously, there are many other tools at your disposal, including a DOS converter, spell checker, macro recorders and a large configuration screen that provides access to lots of settings.

For instance, the “Preferences” window enables you to change the associated files, backups, file name filters, keyboard shortcuts, spelling, editors and document classes.

Just as expected, TextPad can also integrate into the Windows Content Menu to open a file on the go, with a dedicated option to even replace Notepad alltogether.

The supported formats include TXT, INI, CPP, CXX, INL, HTM, STM, TCL and JAVA.

Overall, TextPad is a decent Windows utility that does what it says and provides a very handy interface to lend a hand to both beginners and more experienced users. It works without a flaw on all Windows versions and it can even take the place of the old-fashioned Notepad regardless of the operating system installed on your machine.
