EditPad Lite is a compact general-purpose text editor. EditPad Lite is extremely configurable. Many settings can be made per file type. This allows you to automatically enable coding features when you are editing source code, while enabling other writing features when you are editing other text files. EditPad Lite sports one of the most extensive search-and-replace features of any text editor. Quickly find the part of the file you want to edit. Automate much tedious editing with clever use of EditPad Lite"s search-and-replace. EditPad Lite handles DOS/Windows, UNIX/Linux and Macintosh line breaks. Open and save text files encoded in Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32), any Windows code page, any ISO-8859 code page, and a variety of DOS, Mac, EUC, EBCDIC, and other legacy code pages. Convert files between any of these encodings.
EditPad Lite is free for personal use only. If you use EditPad Lite at home or at school for purposes that don"t generate money, you can download the free version of EditPad Lite without any kind of payment or registration.

EditPad Lite 8.4.2 changelog:
Improvement
- Improved scrolling performance, particularly when doing so by rotating a stepless mouse wheel.
Bug fixes
- Dragging a file from WinRAR and dropping it onto EditPad’s main editor created a blank tab with the name of the file instead of loading the temporary file that WinRAR extracted the file to (EditPad did correctly open the temp file when dropping anywhere onto EditPad except its main editor).
- Edit|Delete Line now properly deletes the last line in the file when the cursor is after the last line break in the file.
- File Types|Colors: Color picker was not restricted to the solarized, harmonized, or monochrome colors when customizing a solarized, harmonized, or monochrome palette (since 8.1.0).
- Help|Create Portable Installation did not copy over the user word lists with learned words and learned replacements.
- Regex: Subroutine calls to capturing groups defined inside lookbehind are now a syntax error; previously such calls were incorrectly matched from right to left, possibly causing the regex engine to get stuck in an infinite loop.
- Text Layout: Visualizing control characters as IBM PC glyphs or as Unicode control pictures now highlights them with the “Editor: Control Characters” color (which has a wavy underline in most built-in palettes) when using a complex script text layout just as it does with left-to-right text layouts.
- Word wrapping now takes into account the text layout’s option for visualizing control characters when determining the width of control characters.
