EmEditor Text Editor is a lightweight yet extendable, easy-to-use text editor for Windows. EmEditor is very customizable, and it supports Unicode and powerful macros. EmEditor is designed for Windows XP, and certified for Windows Vista! The x64 Edition is also available!
Custom Bars can be now displayed within EmEditor window. With this feature, useful plug-ins such as Outlining, Web Preview, and Search Bar can be developed. Many features were added to support outlining and custom bars.
You are going to view or edit many, many, and many files every day, but you don't want to wait for many seconds just to view a file! Unfortunately, many programs, including word processors and text editors, require you to wait several seconds before you can start using! This doesn't make sense! You want to increase productivity by using a text editor, but waiting so long each time doesn't justify your using a text editor. You should not wait more than one second!
That's why EmEditor has been so popular for a long time. I have tried to optimize the startup time every time I have released the upgrade, and the startup time should be less than 1 second in most environments.
There is a new option called EmEditor Quick Start, and you can find it from the Tools menu, Customize, and then Shortcut tab. By checking this option, the EmEditor window will start even faster, and it will launch usually in less than 0.5 seconds. This is possible because a hidden EmEditor window will be launched as soon as the EmEditor tray icon is launched. When you start EmEditor, the hidden EmEditor window will be switched to the visible state, and it looks that EmEditor launches quickly.
This option is not turned on by default, so you should turn on this option if you care the speed most. Even without this option, however, EmEditor does not use commercial libraries such as Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), thus it is optimized very well especially for the startup time. You can find that the size of the core program emeditor.exe is only 527KB at this writing, which should explain how light-weighted it is. |
