Advanced Text Editing

Provides a full-featured text editor for source code, configuration files, logs, and general-purpose text. It supports day-to-day editing as well as more demanding technical work where you need direct control over formatting, content structure, and file handling.

Large File Handling

Supports work with very large files, making it suitable for data-heavy tasks such as log inspection, export review, and operations work. This helps teams open, search, and edit content that standard editors often struggle to handle comfortably.

Search Across Files And Directories

Includes advanced search and replace across files and folders, with support for filters such as regular expressions. This helps users locate patterns, update repeated values, and investigate content across larger projects or distributed file collections.

Column And Block Editing

Lets users edit along a vertical selection for tabular content, fixed-width text, and repeated code changes. This is useful when adjusting aligned data, modifying multiple lines at once, or cleaning up structured text without manual line-by-line edits.

Remote File Access

Supports work with remote files and servers through integrated connection options such as FTP, SSH, and Telnet. This allows users to edit and inspect content on connected systems without breaking out into separate applications for routine tasks.

Code And Markup Support

Includes functionality for code-focused and markup-heavy workflows, including syntax highlighting, code formatting, XML handling, and live preview for HTML and Markdown. This helps developers and technical users work more effectively with source files and structured documents.

File Compare And Merge

Adds visual comparison and merge capabilities for files, including two-way and three-way comparison workflows. This helps users review revisions, inspect differences, and resolve merge conflicts when working with changing code, documents, or exported data.

Folder Compare And Sync

Compares entire folders to identify changed, missing, or matching files, and supports sync and merge operations across directory structures. It can also work over FTP connections and network shares, which is useful for deployment checks and environment validation.

Structured Document Comparison

Supports comparison of Excel, CSV, PDF, Word, and other tabulated or document-based content. This helps teams review differences in rows, columns, sheets, and documents when working with reports, data exports, and other structured business files.

Binary And Archive Comparison

Extends comparison beyond plain text to include binary or hex data and common archive formats such as ZIP, RAR, and JAR. This gives technical teams broader coverage when validating packaged assets, inspecting file changes, or reviewing non-text content.
