Notepad++ Tutorial for Beginners: Learn How to Use a Simple & Powerful Code Editor

Notepad++ is my favorite PC app for web design after Google Chrome because of how useful it is for taking quick notes, formatting data, and editing code including HTML, PHP, JS, and CSS (supporting almost 80 code languages in total).

The best part is how lightweight it is - it performs much more efficiently than other bulky code editors or development studios.

If you just want to quickly edit almost any type of file, Notepad Plus Plus is the best option!

Thanks for the info. I use TextPad. It also is similar. One thing that it has that you didn't demonstrate with Notepad++, is a section on the left panel that you can set up with your own stuff. You click on a line and it will insert some code you use frequently. This way you don't have to find it somewhere else and retype it. You can also set it up so if you select some text, then click on the entree on the left, it can put in an open and close tag on each side of your selection. I don't know if TextPad can automaticallly put Tabs in for you (Pretty Print). It has a lot and I have been using it for a about 20 years. Even so, I don't know everything about TextPad. You should learn Regular Expressions. It is awesome for Searching and replacing. TextPad has that feature also. \n, \t, \r are Regular Expressions. But there is a lot more to it than that.

Hi Ray. Thank you for your notepad++ Tutorial. I'm working on a new site and I wonder (couldn't find it), how do you view your work in the browser. I went to the view but didn't see that option. Thanks!!!

Thanks for this tutorial. I tried Pretty print feature, however the indentation is so large. How do auto-format to reduce the size of indentation to maybe 2 spaces?

Good editor. In earlier versions it loaded huge files without problems, now it struggles with 80MB .sql files.

I do not like Windows notepad.
I love Notepad++. I use it every day. One of the main things I use it for is to mark-up what I am or should do during the day and for reminders.
