Dec 28, 2020 On the surface, Coda is a basic text editor with features for syntax highlighting, code folding, and autocompletes. However, you will find some rather unique editing options, like something called a wildcard token that lets the user rapidly generate items like gradients and colors as you type. Code writers might like that Brackets highlights syntax, can split the screen to edit more than one document simultaneously, lets you click one button for a really simple distraction-free interface, and supports lots of keyboard shortcuts so that you can quickly indent, duplicate, move between lines, toggle line and block comments, show or hide code hints, and more.

Notepad++

Notepad++ is a free source editor with the syntax highlighting and syntax folding. It gives also the extra functionality: define a user's own language for the syntax folding and syntax highlighting. You can print your source code (or whatever you want) in color if you have a color printer (WYSIWYG). Furthermore, Notepad++ have the multi-view feature, that allows user to edit the different document in the same time, and even to edit the same document synchronizely in 2 different views.
Notepad++ support the fully drag and drop: not only you can drop the file from explorer to open it, but also you can drag and drop a document from a view to another.
With all the functionalities, Notepad++ runs as fast as Notepad provided by MS Windows.

PureText 2.0

Have you ever copied some text from a web page, a word document, help, etc., and wanted to paste it as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source? PureText makes this simple. Just copy/cut whatever you want to the clipboard, click on the PureText tray icon, and then paste to any application. Better yet, you can configure a Hot-Key to convert and paste the text for you. The pasted text will be pure and free from all formatting.
After running PureText.exe, you will see a PT tray icon appear near the clock on your task bar. To convert the data currently in the clipboard to pure text, simply click on the tray icon with the left mouse button.

What PureText Will and Will Not Do:
PureText only removes rich formatting from text. This includes the font face, font style (bold, italics, etc.), font color, paragraph styles (left/right/center aligned), margins, character spacing, bullets, subscript, superscript, tables, charts, pictures, embedded objects, etc. However, it does not modify the actual text. It will not remove or fix new-lines, carriage returns, tabs, or other white-space. It will not fix word-wrap or clean up your paragraphs. If you copy the source code of a web page to the clipboard, it is not going to remove all the HTML tags. If you copy text from an actual web page (not the source of the page), it will remove the formatting.

Freeware Text Editor Syntax Highlighting Tutorial

PureText is basically equivalent to opening Notepad, doing a PASTE, followed by a SELECT-ALL, and then a COPY. When does call of duty come out time. The benefit of PureText is performing all these actions with a single Hot-Key and having the result pasted into the current window automatically.
