Free Windows Text Editor?

[pointertovoid]

Mine is Metapad:

http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/faq.html

- it's free, multilingual, fast, runs on W95 to Seven, offers fixed width fonts

- it brings what I need (keyboard shortcuts, remnant window size and place)

- but not what I don't need (coloration of syntax words

- some half-evolved features, like blocs de-indentation, lowercase/title, line feed suppression

- the Faq tells how Metapad can replace notepad on W95 to Vista (Seven?) - I mean, replace the .exe, to catch all calls to an editor

Beyond that, it's a matter of needs, taste, habits...
