TeXcii Description
Notepad is one of the most popular apps on Windows, and it falls into the category of utilities that people ‘love to hate’ because of its lack of advanced functions.
So if you are looking for an alternative that preserves some of Notepad’s simplicity yet comes with a better GUI, you can try TeXcii.
Minimalistic design
The application comes with an intuitive layout that can be easily managed by all users, regardless of their skill level. The titles of all available menus are as straightforward as they can be while the right-click menu also includes some of the menu options.
When it comes to loading your documents, you can either browse to their location manually or you can drag and drop them onto the main window, thus saving time.
Open and edit TXT files
Just like Notepad, TeXcii supports only text files, meaning that you can create or open such documents without any hassle. You can also save the modified contents to a different TXT file stored in a custom location.
A handy feature that sets this app apart from the integrated Windows tool is its ability to identify and recognize URLs. This way you can access them in the default browser by simply clicking them, i.e. you no longer need to copy and paste them.
Customize font type and color
A function that cannot be found in Notepad is changing the font color to another color than the default black. TeXcii supports this customization, yet changing the font color also alters the menu titles (though not the options they include).
It goes without saying that the font type and size can also be tampered with, to suit your preferences.
All in all, TeXcii can prove to be a handy replacement for Notepad, especially if you are not interested in any complex functions.
