Joe: it really is customizable, "modeless," has an easy macro language,
and syntax highlighting for more kinds of files that you can shake a stick
at (also customizable).

It does look good! Unfortunately, I need an editor for the windows
environment.

Thanks,

Ever try Textpad 4? (http://textpad.com) It has a very handy clip
library, and it's cheap.

And It works absolutely perfectly under wine if you ever do make the
leap =]

Also, If you don't feel like buying it, the trial isn't painful at all
- it doesn't lock you out after 30 days - it just shows a little nag
screen at startup.

Are there any open source ajax/php html editors? I want to incorporate as simple (very simple) ajax based html editor into a webapp I'm making. I spent an hour or so downloading code and saw nothing that actually worked. Don't need tables, just need to drag text around, set fonts and colors, upload images, have a simple form for making links.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
