The standard text editor that comes along with the operating system provides very basic functions for us. It does not meet our need for editing complicated code. Is there a full-functions text and code editor that can meet most need of us? Yes, of course! Here is an excellent and easy to use text and code editor for us. That is GridinSoft Notepad which was published by GridinSoft. Below is the detailed presentation of this full-featured visual code editor.

GridinSoft Notepad is a text editor with syntax highlighting for more than 50 file types (C/C++, HTML, ASP, PHP, Perl etc.), as well as a built-in spell checker and HEX editor. The key functions and benefits of this full-featured text and code editor include:

Choose the desired template using our mouse cursor and then press [Enter] key on our keyboard. The chosen template will be inserted at the cursor position. The cursor will be moved to a position determined by a template. If the cursor position is not specified within the template, the cursor is put after the inserted template string.

4. In case text has been selected before inserting a template, the selected text will be placed at the cursor position defined within the template. If the cursor position is not defined within the template, the selected text is the inserted template string.

5. Select Spell Checker from the Format menu to check the spelling of the current file. We can do the same action by clicking F7. The spell check function always starts from the beginning of the file. When a word is not found in the dictionary, it will be underlined in the editor.

We can set Spell Checker Options by clicking "Format menu - Options".
