What is Hekapad?

Hekapad

Hekapad is a super handy plain text editor that’s great for jotting down quick notes or editing different files. It’s also a useful tool for writing programs and scripts. If you’re looking for something straightforward, this might just be your go-to!

Features of Hekapad

The main window in Hekapad is tabbed, which means you can have multiple documents open at once. This neat layout makes it easy to switch between your work without any fuss. Plus, the minimalistic design keeps things simple and clear—no distracting menus to deal with!

Stay on Top

One cool feature is that you can keep the Hekapad window on top of other apps. You can even change this setting from the program's status bar! Want to see through your text editor? You can adjust its opacity anywhere from 30% to 100%. Pretty nifty, right?

Text Editing Made Easy

This software is perfect for editing code or any plain text files you might have. Hekapad gives you basic formatting options too! You can choose different font types and colors or align your text however you like—left, right, or center.

File Compatibility

Even though it doesn't have syntax highlighting (which helps when coding), Hekapad works well with HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, JS, XML, C, CPP, and VB files. It’s pretty smart too; it automatically tracks how many characters and words are in each document. Plus, there’s a handy find-and-replace function!

Security Features

If security is a concern for you, Hekapad has got some cryptographic tools as well. You can encode or decode AES-256 custom-key encryption right from a dedicated menu.

A Simple Alternative

While Hekapad has some great features and tools to explore, its lack of syntax highlighting makes it less ideal for serious programming tasks. But if you're just looking for an easy alternative to Microsoft Windows’ built-in text editor with some extra functions, Hekapad could be just what you need.
