I recently decided that it was time to write my own Text Editor. I wrote this for my own needs, but am making it available to you.

My requirements are simple:

1.       Be able to view text files with any file extension.

2.    Be able to edit text files

2.       Need to support multiple CPU families and multiple OS versions – so this targets the.NET CompactFramework version 2.

What I came up with looks like this:

I provide this Simple Little Text Editor to you free of charge and without a license and without a warrantee. You may use it as you see fit, I just ask that you do not provide it to others for download, instead refer them to this page.

This is version 1.x, there will never be a version 2.x because I consider this to be feature complete for a free software download. But if you report bugs using the feedback below, I will work on fixing them. I am not providing the source code like I sometimes do, but if you are interested in obtaining the source code to use to add features I can be talked into that, but not for free.

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
