HippoEDIT

The Ultimate Text Editor for Coders and Developers

HippoEDIT
Technical

If you've ever tried to edit source code in a stock text editing application, you've no doubt discovered how limiting they can be. To meet all of your requirements, and to make your coding life easier, you need a text editor that thinks ten steps ahead, anticipates the features that you need, and delivers additional, custom-tailored functionality.

HippoEDIT is the Alex Rodriguez of text editors, and by that you know EXACTLY what I mean ;-) With HippoEDIT, everything you need as a developer is right at your fingertips. Seriously. You no longer even need to switch apps to browse the internet or locate files!

HippoEDIT's tabbed interface allows you to work on multiple tasks at once, and pre-defined syntax highlighting makes working with PHP, Perl, Java, Pascal, C/C++, HTML, XML, and XSLT code a breeze (you can even add support for additional languages using custom syntax files).

But HippoEDIT's support for multiple programming languages doesn't end with syntax highlighting. HippoEDIT works with you to make coding in these languages much more streamlined, with more than 160 integrated commands, customizable keyboard shortcuts, code auto-completion, real-time code hints, and a sophisticated code templates engine. You'll discover new, faster ways of coding no matter what language you use!

HippoEDIT provides an array of code analysis tools, such as source code outlining, current scope and change lines indication, mismatching brace highlighting, indent guides, and much more. Sophisticated clipboard functionality allows you to copy and paste syntax-highlighted code directly into other applications, perform advanced search and replace, step through multiple levels of undo/redo, and paste code as HTML directly into an editor.

Grab a copy of HippoEDIT, and say hello to a whole new level of coding efficiency!

Written by Derek Lee

HippoEDIT lets you:

  • Edit code more efficiently when working with PHP, Perl, Java, Pascal, C/C++, HTML, XML, and XSLT code.

Who Needs HippoEDIT?
You do if you've ever:

  • Tried to edit code in a stock text editor and found the experience to be limiting and frustrating.
  • Wanted to learn new ways of coding more efficiently.
  • Wanted the ability to work on several pieces of code at once, and to copy and paste between them.
  • Appreciated the visual aid supplied by color-coded syntax highlighting.

Real Users Say:

  • “I have to add my two cents: I found this editor completely by chance on Iconico's Bits du Jour, and I now use it as my default JavaScript editor. I am hoping that with time, HippoEdit will be able to completely replace TextPad, which I have used for many years, but that has not seen any significant updates in as long. Currently, the lack of macro recording ability and a few minor bugs (like find or quick bar arrows that remain visible afterwards, a bit distracting) will hold me back. But I have no doubt that given a bit of time, HippoEdit will become one of the most versatile programming editors around. I would be glad to pay to upgrade next time, HippoEdit is worth much, much more than the special's $15 price. THANK YOU for creating this editor!”- Chuck, HippoEdit Forums
  • “I would like to say thanks for such a great text editor too! Discovering new features every day So complex, but still fast and easy to use! Thanks!”- Kluyg, HippoEdit Forums
  • “I also want to thank Alex for his great Hippo Edit. I use it daily to create and edit software source code for more then year already. I know about Hippo from very first beta versions. I have tried many competitors while searching for the PERFECT text editor, but last year I have completely switched to Hippo. I think now Hippo Edit is one of the most feature packed text editors, and it's light, fast and smart :-) Love it.”- dv, HippoEdit Forums

    Fine. I tried it over the weekend and want to say: thank you for that deal!
    First i thought: "HippoEDIT" ? Is this an editor for kids?
    But after my tests i must say: Great Work!
    I will use this for VBS and HTML coding.

    Hi Justin,

    thanks for your feedback!
    I often get questions/comments about name selection :)
    There is even forum post explaining this: http://forum.hippoedit.com/index.php/topic,167.0.html
    But generally, there was no better name that time and now it is too late to change it :)

    Best regards,
    Alex.

    Seems like a powerful editor.
    Can you please tell us more about the license, does it include future versions? Can I install the product on my all computers?

    i bought a license last year at this time during a BDJ/HippoEdit promo. i have been extremely pleased with this tool. great editor, only getting greater. i personally like the name and logo. ;)

    to Yigal M:

    The license includes one year email technical support and free minor updates.
    But license for 1.48 will also cover 1.5x (1.4x - 1.50 will be major update).
    More details can be found here: http://hippoedit.com/order.php

    The license is user dependent. So you can use it for installation on your laptop and desktop, for example.

    Hi Patrick,

    thanks a lot for the feedback and warm comments!
    There are also non programming extensions coming in 1.50 as ordinary text marking functionality (can be checked soon in development version of 1.50).

    Best regards,

    Hi, i use this great editor since maybe two years (from my chief)
    and buy it last year for my own use at home and laptop. I recommend this editor to most of my co-workers (coders in different languages, system admins, even the secretary ;-) ) , (but not to them i don't like) some have buy it already, and thanks to the discount today two others are happy to get an own license too.

    I on my own carry this little gem on my USB-Drive for every day use on different pcs. Now i am looking forward to 1.5 with scripting support (he he he ;-) )

    Thank Alex for an great editor and this lovely discount. May the force be with you ;-)

    Hi John,
    thanks a lot for the feedback. I am very glad that HippoEDIT is useful and people like it ;) I will do my best to make it even better.

    The engine for scripting is finished and now it should be filled with service objects and functionality. Now I am busy with spell checker plugin and will come back to scripting after finishing it. I will update 1.50 development version on forum then, that everybody can check what is already inside.

    Best regards,
    Alex.
