EditPad Lite is a general-purpose text editor, designed to be small and compact, yet offer all the functionality you expect from a basic text editor.
You can open as many files in EditPad at a time as you want and change between the open files by clicking on their tabs. It has unlimited undo/redo and you can even undo changes after saving files. Its block functions allow you to save parts of your text to disk and insert a file in the current text. EditPad puts an icon in the system tray that remains visible, even if EditPad is closed. This way you have easy and fast access to EditPad, without the need to keep it running all the time. If you don't like this behavior, you can, of course, disable this feature and make EditPad behave like a normal Windows application.
EditPad fully supports double byte character systems (DBCS) so you can edit texts written in Far East languages, such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean, as easily as those written in European languages. Many settings such as word wrap, line numbering and auto indent can be made for each file type individually. You could activate word wrap but not auto indent when editing a plain text file, and just the other way around when editing source code. You can also define your own file types which will be used to build the filters for open and save dialog boxes.
