Notepad3 is a fast, lightweight, open-source text editor for Windows built on the Scintilla editing component, based on Notepad2 and Notepad2-mod. It offers syntax highlighting for many programming languages plus code folding, bookmarks, auto-completion, and PCRE2 regex find-and-replace.
Use cases
- replace Windows Notepad with a better text editor
- edit code files with syntax highlighting on Windows
- quickly view and edit config files
- find and replace text with regular expressions
- fold and navigate large source files
- convert file encodings and newline formats
When to choose
- you want a fast, small-footprint Notepad replacement on Windows
- you need lightweight syntax-highlighted editing without a full IDE
- you want portable, free editing with regex search and code folding
When to avoid
- you need an extensible IDE with debugging and project management
- you require deep plugin ecosystems like VS Code or Notepad++
- you need a cross-platform editor for Linux or macOS
