  • Vertical file list. The names of open files are arranged vertically on the left side with the full path always visible. The names are kept in alphabetical order with support for non-English languages. Allows dragging and dropping files between locations and executing additional functions such as merging files or compressing them.
  • Saved file sets. Ability to save different groups of open files as "Text Lists". Each set represents a specific project or task and can be restored later by closing all current files and opening those from the selected set.
  • Chapter support. Configurable system for recognizing chapter titles using regular expressions. Allows jumping directly to specific sections of the document via a dropdown menu. Automatically detects structures such as regions, methods, or functions.
  • Bulleted paragraph formatting. Line wrapping system that automatically recognizes bullets and indentations. Allows defining custom line widths for each file and adjusts the indentation of subsequent lines according to the type of bullet used.
  • Hyperlinks in text. Automatic recognition of file paths, web links, Windows registry paths, and references to specific lines. Allows navigating via Ctrl+click to locations referenced in the text, including exact positions in files.
  • Expander function. Configurable autocomplete system that replaces abbreviations with full text upon pressing F9. Supports regular expressions for complex patterns and transferring matching parts to the expanded text.
  • Text templates. Insertion of predefined text snippets with placeholders for consecutive numbers and system variables. Allows inserting individual templates or complete series with just a few clicks.
  • Automatic underlining. Function that underlines the current line with configurable characters using a hotkey. Maintains visual consistency in documents with headings and sections.
  • Large files. Ability to open and edit text files of several gigabytes without performance degradation. Optimized for working with extensive log files and large data sets.
  • Navigation history. System similar to web browsers that records all recently edited positions. The history is preserved between sessions and allows forward and backward navigation with dropdown lists.
  • Advanced search and replace. Search engine with regular expressions, file patterns, and multiple nameable result sets. Allows addition and subtraction operations between searches and maintains correct positions after edits.
  • Named bookmarks. Bookmark system that supports unlimited names and precise text ranges. Bookmarks can be listed alphabetically and used for annotations and quick navigation between documents.
  • Syntax highlighting. Support for 93 programming and scripting languages with keyword highlighting. Includes configurable color schemes for different file types.
  • Email composition. Recognition of email addresses in the text which, upon Ctrl+click, open the configured email client with predefined recipient and subject.
