What EditPlus is
EditPlus is a Windows desktop text editor for web page authors and programmers. It combines editing with built-in FTP, FTPS and SFTP, allowing local uploads and direct editing of remote files.

A built-in browser previews HTML documents and Java applets. Editing tools include code folding, auto completion, a Hex Viewer, HTML toolbar, document selector, user-defined tools, cliptext and document templates. It also provides line numbers, a ruler, column selection, search and replace, multiple undo and redo, spell checking and customizable keyboard shortcuts. Extensions and remote development are supported. Windows 10/11 downloads are offered for 64-bit and 64-bit ARM systems. A 30-day trial is available, after which a license is required.
