Hello my wonderful readers! I need some help tonight and I’m hoping one of you can provide it.
When I’m writing, I almost never compose posts directly in the WordPress “Add New Post” page. I write them out first using a text editor called PSPad. However, in the last few months PSPad has been a bit cranky with me. Sometimes it will crash in the middle of a post. I tend to save often just out of habit, but PSPad doesn’t have an autosave feature so sometimes I just plain lose what I have been working on.
I don’t like that.
So, despite my love of the simplicity of PSPad, I am on the hunt for a new text editor. Here are the specs I’m looking for:
- Free: If it has something really cool feature I can’t live without I’d be willing to pay a bit. But no more than $25.
- Line Numbers: I don’t do a ton of coding in text mode, but when I do line numbers are very helpful.
- Tabs: I always have more than one document open at a time – sometimes a dozen or more.
- Spell Check: It doesn’t have to automatically spell check and it can be an add-on, but I need the option.
And that’s it. It doesn’t have to have fancy colors, fonts or any bells and whistles. I’m looking for a fast, user-friendly editor app that doesn’t hog a lot of memory.
I have Googled, but I thought asking my readers gives me a better chance at finding something quickly and right on the money.
