A Leading Text Editor for Our Readers

« Previous | Next »

A long-time supporter of Lockergnome has an award-winning software program. Eric Fookes is the creator and driving force behind the NoteTab program. This program has won numerous awards and it is recognized as one of the very best text and HTML editors available.

Usually, the programs suggested here have gone through some extensive scrutiny. The assessment process for Eric’s program goes far beyond the normal review process. There are ‘gnomies’ we know who use this program every day for all their text editing. And they have used NoteTab for years. One long-time NoteTab fan likes using the multiple text document feature. Think of it as a text editor with a tabbed browsing feature. People are truly loyal to this program and they would not be without their NoteTab.

You may wonder why you need a text editor. It is essential for organizing your work and, at the very elementary level, it saves you time (and your sanity). This probably has happened to you: on some email correspondence or blog comment, you spend time composing and putting down your thoughts in exactly the way that you want. You hit “send” or “post” and something (or nothing) happens. The browser tries to work… and then there is an error. All that work is gone – lost! If you use a text editor, all you would do is go back to the text editor and copy your work again. Then you can try to paste it in the email or blog a second time – without having to re-think and re-do the whole process again.

There are really too many features to this program to mention adequately. It really is one of the best text and HTLM editors available.

Eric is allowing our readers a special, time limited discount on his programs:

This offer expires on June 30, 2009. NoteTab can be used on all Windows versions, as well as OS X / Linux in conjunction with Wine.

If you are doing text work, this is a “must have” program. It simply makes your work easier and you will wonder how you managed without it. NoteTab is that good.

I’ve tried NoteTab a few times in the past but prefer to use Notepad++. I think it’s slicker (no disrespect to Eric!) and better suits my way of working.

$30 ($20 with discount) for a text editor with “tabbed editing”? OR pay $.00 (nothing) and get Notepad++ from http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net that not only has “tabbed editing” but also community driven plugins.

I do like the clips feature and the custom scripting language but the free version is just too limited to me…I mean come on, I have to pay for a freakin’ spell checker?!? (notepad++ has a free spellcheck plugin)

What Do You Think?
