| Notepad Replacement Currently at my job I have to keep a lot of notes. I need a lightweight text editor that can do the following
A. Add time stamp with one button press
B. read line feed characters.
Notepad has been working fine but not that I have to copy from another program it just adds the boxes instead of going to the next line. Seems simple enough but I have not been able to find a program that can do them both yet. |

kudos:2 | EditPlus may be? It's my next to Notepad simple text editor. It does both actions mentioned:
A - Ctrl+D (date stamp)
B - Alt+Shft+L

Keep it simple, it'll become complex by itself... |

Take a look at EditPad Lite. It should do everything you need and more.

I'll second Pentangle... I've been a faithfull user of EditPad for more years than I can remember. I even so far as to get the pro version. It's the only text/html/php editor I use. |

Another for notepad++ It's free, it's all pro-version (although I love it and use it so much I've donated). |

Does WordPad not work? |
|
| WordPad doesn't have a quick way to add the time stamp. You have to go through some menus.
I have tried Notepad++ but I can't find a quick way to get a time stamp on there either. I guest i'll try editpad. |

Great for keeping notes:
»portableapps.com/apps/office/the···portable
and
»theguide.sourceforge.net/
(hasn't been updated in awhile but there's not much else it needs)
Ctrl-D for date & Ctrl-T for time insertion, both of which you can format just about any way you prefer.

said by TechNinja:I have tried Notepad++ but I can't find a quick way to get a time stamp on there either. Make sure the TextFX plug-in is loaded. With that, go to the menu and select TextFX -> TextFX Insert -> Date & Time - short format. If this is something common you want to do, you can assign it to a shortcut key.
Hope this helps,

You need it to be quicker than this?
EDIT: Oh I see what you're saying. Just a single click insertion without options. |

Thanks. I finally figured out how to load that plugin and hotkey it. |
