Hasta La Gadget!

I can’t believe that I’m actually saying this, but I may have stumbled across a text editor that is better than Notepad++! In yesterday’s Daily Downloads I included a free program called PSPad, which sounded like a nice text and code editor. The reason that I had come across it is that they recently released a new Beta version of the software, and so I decided to try it out.

It had the features that I was already familiar with in Notepad++, such as syntax highlighting, but it also had some more unique things. One of the things I quickly fell in love with was the built-in FTP connection manager which would let me browse a remote FTP, open files, edit them, and then save the changes. All of that is done from within PSPad, and I found that to be tremendously useful.

Another thing that I liked was the more advances syntax highlighting that it includes. For example, when you’re in an HTML file and you place your cursor in the middle of a tag, the matching open/close tag is highlighted. I do quite a bit HTML development, and I have quickly become accustomed to this new feature.

Here’s a list of other things that PSPad has to offer:

• Manage projects
• FTP client – edit files directly from the web (stores login information, too)
• Text difference with color-coded differences highlighted
• Syntax highlighting according to file type
• Auto correction
• Intelligent internal HTML preview using IE and Mozilla
• integrated TiDy library for formatting and checking HTML code, conversion to CSS, XML, XHTML
• Reformat and compress HTML code, tag character case change
• ASCII chart with HTML entities
• Code explorer for Pascal, C/C++, INI, HTML, XML, PHP and more in development
• Spell checker
• Matching bracket highlighting

There are also some PSPad extensions available to add more features, syntax highlighting for obscure languages, and many other things. Even if you are content with Notepad++ or another text editor I think you should give this a whirl…remember, it doesn’t cost a dime!

BlackBerry’s hardware division needs a miracle to pull the company out of the slump it finds itself in. All smartphones it has released over the last couple of years haven’t exactly proven to be global hits. BlackBerry only made one foray into the tablet market, that too back in 2011 with the ill-fated PlayBook. Even though when it was first unveiled the tablet looked promising, it failed to set the market on fire. Since then the company hasn’t launched a new tablet, but an executive has hinted that a BlackBerry PlayBook successor might be released in the future.
