Syn Text Editor

Syn Text Editor is a tiny and portable application that lets you edit code in various programming languages, including C++, Borland Forms, Foxpro, HTML, Java, PHP, Perl, XML, SQL and Ruby. It also offers support for some IDE features.

Since installation is not required, you can just extract the executable file to any location on the hard drive and run it immediately,

It is also possible to copy Syn Text Editor to a USB flash drive or other storage unit, in order to run it on any computer. You can carry the tool with you wherever you go.

What's more important is that no items are left in the Windows Registry or on the hard drive after deleting the app.

The interface of Syn Text Editor is not visually impressive, but somewhat intuitive. The layout is divided into multiple panels, so you can manage projects and use the Explorer-based folder structure to quickly locate and import files for code editing. Plus, you can open files via FTP.

Syn Text Editor allows you to use some standard word processing functions. For example, you can insert the current time and date, another file or parameters, change the format and case, set bookmarks, as well as use a search function when dealing with large amounts of data.

You can run parameters, execute scripts, record macro, set line breaks, sort blocks, switch to full screen mode, set file associations, as well as configure default context options, among others.

Syn Text Editor barely uses CPU and system memory, so it doesn't put a strain on the computer's overall performance. It has a good response time, includes a help file and supports keyboard shortcuts. No error dialogs have been shown throughout our tests and the utility did not hang or crash. On the downside, Syn Text Editor has not been updated for a while.
