CudaText Review
Notepad might be the most famous piece of computer software that anyone's ever created. Thank you, Microsoft! You never outdid yourself after Notepad.
Writers love it. So do coders.
It's so much easier to open Notepad, whip off a message or quick code correction and then cut / paste it into a clunkier software package, than it is to wait for the computer to open a dialog box and then wait for the cursor to be ready for the tap, tap, tap coming from fast, and by then irritated, hands.
However, better alternatives exist, and CudaText is one of the best 'notepad for coders' to come along in a while. Cudatext can be used as a text editor or code editor.
Some of its features are meant for coders, and there are many of them, like autocompletion, sidebar tree structures, color highlighting, code folding, picture viewing and more.
Its powerful plugins can extended its capabilities and will please almost any coder.
For non-coders CudaText comes with a few features many would like to see in Notepad. One neat feature Cudatext has that's found in only a handful of other editors is menu access to the Char Map.
That is major! No more hunting through Windows' search to find the copyright or trademark symbols, or to add Greek characters if that's your thing. CudaText also supports tabs. The tabs hold the program's last content next time the program is opened.
CudaText works as a great little editor that is as simple to open and access as Notepad with many features coders need. It also has a few features the rest of us have wished were in Notepad or other programming editors for a long, long time.
