AkelPad Portable Review
AkelPad Portable is a lightweight, feature-rich and customizable text editing application for Windows. Designed to be a Notepad replacement, the software comes with an enhanced command set but maintains simplicity and can accept a wide variety of plugins that provide increased capabilities such as syntax highlighting, folding, auto-completion, scripts execution and keyboard macros.
The software offers an interesting and practical approach to text editing by including a number of different plugins that will make the program more useful for coders or anyone working with HTML files. The application itself has a simple Windows Notepad-like user interface and some additional features like multi-window viewing, multiple file selection and reading modes and the ability to remember the last file you worked on.
In addition, the software comes with plugins for advanced functionality such as a full-screen mode, file management integration and a context menu. More than 30 different plugins are available that can enhance the overall user experience and increase the productivity of the application.
One of the great features of this application is that installation is not required and it can be stored on a USB flash drive or any other detachable device and then run directly from it. The fact that it does not modify the Windows Registry or leave any leftover files on the hard disk means that it can be removed from a computer without leaving behind any traces. The program also does not require a reboot after being removed from the system.
