Working with PSpad is easy: No 'Microsoft Extras', no anoying 'Web development goodies', simple write highlightened code as u know it and usually use it. And portable, so one has his work and program on a stick/extern disc.
That's why PSpad attracts. But ultimately in the last month problems became overwelming, they are not new but happen with more frequency: Permanent access violations, random converting code to strange characters, functionality failing of the search result window ... and solving the problems is not in sight. So after more then 18 years using PSpad, sadly I decided to search for an alternative. And I found it: doing some tasks in adapting highlighters, configuring keyboard short cuts, settings, theme and configuration - within a day I had nearly an exact 'copy' of that what PSpad looked to me. No probs, no issues - happy? No, I'd wished to proceed with PSpad, but I also need to proceed with working. Maybe, some day, when PSpad regains functionality, I'll come back. Thank you for this programm which was a faithful companion through nearly 2 decades. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,76717,76717> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
