What is Reddit's opinion of PSPad?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You've got a few options. First of all what OS are you using?

Windows:

• Visual Studio: Get the free version, it's the official IDE for Windows. Last time I used it (which, to be fair, was on Windows 95), there wasn't much focus on C, it was all very tucked away, but it was there and usable.

• GCC: The free, open source compiler. If your lecturer is telling you to type "gcc" or "cc" on the command line, this is what you want. The Windows port is called MinGW. Install it and put the 'mingw\bin' directory in your PATH, then you can use it in the command line. You can use any text editor, like Pspad to actually edit your source files, then call gcc on them. (This is kinda the old fashioned way of doing things, before IDEs like Visual Studio were common). Syntax is: gcc -o program.exe source.c

Mac OS

I ain't a Mac person, so I have no first hand experience here, but there should be some variant of 'cc' or 'gcc' on your terminal, and I believe 'Xcode' is the official IDE. Someone with more fruit on their hardware might need to fill in the details.

Linux: You already have GCC on your command line. Use any text editor you like (KATE, gedit, pico, etc) then call: gcc -o program source.c

(Note, you will have to use chmod to mark the resulting program with the executable (x) bit, otherwise Linux won't let you run it).

For basic text file editing on Windows (eg viewing logs etc, but not programming), I use PSPad. It is most comparable to Notepad++ but performs much better with large files and searches across multiple files.

Would recommend.

1. Download PSPad
2. Open your Campaign.sav file which you can find in (Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/common/magicka/SaveData with PSPad
3. Find the portion where it says exotic_blade. and click on the period immediately following the 'e' in blade.
4. On the left, your cursor should be starting at the number immediately following '65'. At this point, type: 'FFFFFF'
5. Save and load up magicka. It should say you have 24/21 spells. This is intended since FFFFFF is a blanket statement that should get you all spells guaranteed.

This is assuming you are using Paradox's save files. If you are modifying yours, a bit more work might be needed.

I use PSPad because it's a decent, lightweight editor that has the standard development things such as syntax highlighting, some autocomplete, infinite undo (without bugs), and others. I've tried Eclipse, Netbeans, and other IDEs and I find they are a bit slow and hog resources when I just want to get to my work without having to wait.

If I ever need to search my codebase I use Windows Grep.

It's good to keep more than one editor on hand. Both the free PSPad and the commercial UltraEdit handle large files much better than Scintilla based editors.

I use the Scintilla-based Komodo IDE for most of my work, but I open large files in UltraEdit.

PSPad is a freeware programmer's editor for Microsoft Windows operating systems, useful for people who:

• work with various programming environments
• like highlighted syntax in their source code
• need a small tool with simple controls and the capabilities of a mighty code editor
• are looking for a tool that handles plain text
• want to save time - PSPad offers rich text formating functions
• need a tool that offers user extension capabilities
• want to save money and still have the functionality of professional products because PSPad is free for commercial and government purposes too

FreeCommander have the dark mode for text files.

PSPad can open text files and pdf files in text form, in dark mode.

FreeCommander (portable) - file manager (single/dual panel, drag&drop, tabs, plugins, plain view, favorites, search, viewer, queue, multi rename, quick viewer/preview, quick filter, FTP, fully customizable layout and keyboard shortcuts, color schemes - incl. dark schemes...)

FreeCommander for search in txt files, PSPad to open files in tabs...

Here are some tips to recover the eamil:

1. Secure the original PST file, work with the copy
2. If the emails are deleted, it takes 28 days for emails to actually dissappear from the PST file.
3. The size of the PST gets changed when you compress it, so you could have a massive, empty PST file after 28 days
4. If you use a HEX editor like PSpad (http://www.pspad.com/), open the PST file in HEX mode, and change positions 7 till 13 (13=0C) with zero's. You get the deleted emails back from 28 days or less.
5. ScanPST.exe is your friend the whole time.
6. You can also take a free sneak peek with Stellar Repair for Outlook, but I think actually recovery is not free.

PSPad - free, dark modes, I'm not sure if it has all you need, you can try it and also check the forum...

The color schemes are in menu > Settings > Highlighters Settings > Color Scheme: > Load.

Hahaha.

No, there really isn't anything like that afaik. Atom and VSCode both very new things.

Your best bet is probably Notepad++, especially since it gets regular development. Although you can certainly try these other (older) application:
- Crimson Editor
- PSPad
