An alternative for the classic Notepad in Windows, which allows you to take notes and edit text, with auto-saving options and additional tools #Notepad alternative #Text editor #Replace notepad #Notepad #Editor #Text
When it comes to text editors, you either think of the classic Notepad that comes with Windows or a much more powerful text editor, such as Word. In between, there is a plethora of smaller text editors out there, each one of them striving to offer more than the other, with sleek features that might catch a user’s eye. SavageEd is one of them, providing an alternative to the Windows Notepad application and bringing to the table a few interesting features.
With a long history behind it, SavageEd is written in high-level assembly language. It is a free Notepad replacement that aims to offer more than the Windows default editor, and it succeeds, here and there.
First, it is worth mentioning that there is no need to install SavageEd. The application is up and running as soon as you double-click on the main executable file. Moreover, its configuration files are stored in the same folder as the executable, without affecting the system’s registry.
The main window might actually remind you of Notepad, since there is this generous editing area with no options within reach and the classic menu in the upper toolbar.
There are a few handy editing options and tools available in SavageEd. For instance, you can easily copy and delete whole words or erase an entire line. You can easily convert from upper case to lower case and vice versa, or increase and decrease line indent.
As expected, SavageEd comes with integrated search capabilities, but the surprise comes with pattern matching and the “go to” function. Moreover, you can insert a date and a time into the text automatically, with a custom format.
Automatic saving and indenting, forward or reverse logging, font, text and background color customization are other features you can enjoy.
SavageEd is a good option of you are on the lookout for a Notepad alternative, but it does not offer much more than Windows’ classic text editor. In fact, it lacks very important features that users are usually trying to find when searching for a text editor, such as multi-tab interface to work with more than one document at the same time, line numbering, automatic suggestions, a thesaurus and a dictionary, and so on.
