SciTE is a GUI-based single-document editor which uses the Scintilla editor component. It rapidly styles most common programming languages with good control over how syntactic elements are displayed, and features folding for C++, C, Java, JavaScript, and Python. Styling of HTML also styles embedded scripts written in VBScript, Javascript, or Python.

Recent commentsWhy this editor isn't getting raving reviews everywhere is beyond me..
Just open the global.properties and <extension>.properties files and hack away at making your editor purrrfect.
I'd been using second-(or less)-best editors for years, and then I found this little jewel. Thanks for the great app guys!
Lite and fast
SciTE is a real jewel - its the core editing component hidden behind other, bigger and more complex editors. I use this and ROX-Filer together as a simple editing environment.
The main reason I like SciTE - its language syntax highlighting support is superb. Code folding and other features are icing.
