Advantage Ability to load large text files
Advantage Unicode detector
Advantage Vertical selection (using Alt)
Advantage Multiple undo and redo

Disadvantage Only supports fixed-pitch (monospaced) fonts
Disadvantage Does not support right-to-left (RTL) alignment


What is Classic Text Engine?

Classic text engine uses the common control provided by Microsoft Windows. It's basically the same text engine in Notepad.

Advantage Supports all kinds of fonts
Advantage Supports right-to-left alignment (for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian)
Disadvantage Can not load large text files
Disadvantage Does not support SynEdit's advantages

In Notepad++, when you restart the program, it has all the files open that you had when you closed it. Is this possible with this program? Currently, all files are closed and you have to manually reopen them.

In Text Edit Plus, you can do that by using the menu: Options > Backup > Remember Current Session for Next Launch
