The output pane is located either to the right of the editing pane or below it. There are two panes in SciTE, the editing pane and the output pane.

Rectangular blocks of text can be selected in SciTE by holding down the Alt key on Windows or the Ctrl key on GTK+ while dragging the mouse over the text. SciTE can hold multiple files in memory at one time but only one file will be visible.

No more crashes or lockups because the file is too big.SciTE is a free source code editing component for Win32 and GTK+, text editing works similarly to most Macintosh or Windows editors with the added feature of automatic syntax styling. It also works incredibly efficiently on huge files. You can even customise properties files to handle languages not included with the package. I don't want one editor that's good with small files along with another that specialises in large files. That was a showstopper for me when testing other editors - while they worked great, they simply failed on large files. Something other editors struggle with, especially if you need to work with large log files or similar. It also handles huge files without crashing.

Install it and throw away notepad and every other text editor you might have had the misfortune to install. It loads up pretty-much as fast as notepad which is a pretty good benchmark. It is essentially an advanced replacement for notepad - something for coders, scripters, and even the average, non-technical user. SciTE, based on scintilla, is simply the best text and sourcecode editor out there. I'm open to suggestions as to how this can be improved, so fire me an email. This, however, was the only way I could think of to get the flexibility for opening files. I didn't really like the idea of an extra context menu because I always liked the simplicity of the existing solution.

The respective options do exactly what they say and you now have full control. The context menu looks like this when you right-click: I was never able to find a happy medium with the available options, so the only answer I could come up with was to make two context menu options with the choice of new tab or new window. Couple that option with the context menu and you can only ever have open in tabs or (with the option switched off), open in new window. So to open two files and sit them side-by-side or in individual screens when using multiple screens is impossible with that default option set. The bad thing about this option is that when this is switched on, you can never open SciTE in a new window. SciTE itself has a global option of 'check.if.already.open' which enables one to always open a new file into a new tab. The original context menu was simply 'Edit with SciTE', and while it was effective and easy it wasn't so great for us dual-screen users. вЂ‹As mentioned above, since releasing the installer for SciTE 2.22 I have modified the context menu from AndrГ© Burgaud and Angelo Mandato for this package.

Optional installation of the context menu fix.

The packages are split in order to support respective platform runtimes. вЂ‹I have tested this on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, 8 & 8.1 32bit & 64bit, and Windows 10.
