twistpad is a fully featured text and code editor for windows. twistpad can be used as a simple notepad replacer, or a featured packed editor targeting web and software developers.

twistpad supports a full range of syntax highlighting (colored keywords) for the most popular formats out of the box (html, asp, xml, c++, pascal, etc) but it's strength relies on the easy to create new highlighting schemes.

handling text is no problem in twistpad, besides the usual clipboard operations, there is a wide range of formatting commands that will simplify your work whenever you need.

written in native win32, you can be sure that no system dll's are installed or altered. performance is also something we had in mind when designing twistpad, so fast startup time, and fast parsing of text are guaranteed.

other features include unicode support, spell checking and active spell checking, compare text files (even currently opened and unsaved files), export to rich text format and html, find and replace in files, project management, autocomplete, autoreplace, autorecover, tool/compiler support, configurable toolbar/editor context menu/shortcuts/colors, advanced text format (join lines remove empty lines, etc.), text sort, portable mode1 and many more features.
