The Macro feature is the ability to record a set of actions and replay them at a later time. This is a very powerful feature which can be used for many different purposes. With macros, you can create your own functions and store them as files which can be loaded at a later time. Texturizer can even load macros automatically on startup. Texturizer also includes documentation on how to create and edit macros manually.

Multiple Undo/Redo means that you can undo and redo several commands. Notepad can only undo one single command, so if you delete two blocks of text, you will only be able to undo the last deletion. In Texturizer, you can undo over 30,000 actions, which will be enough for any editing requirements.

Cliptext lists are configurable lists that can contain text to be inserted into your documents. For instance, you can create your own list with the text you use often, such as different URL:s or Java templates for your home page. In addition to plain text, a Cliptext list can also contain macros! Texturizer is designed to integrate macros and Cliptexts as closely as possible, so Cliptexts can contain macros, and macros can contain Cliptexts. As a result, you can save hours of hard coding by spending some time creating your own Cliptext list with all the macros and text you will ever need.

Both the configurable keyboard shortcuts and the toolbar are Cliptext based, which means that you can bind anything from macros, Cliptexts, menu commands or just plain text to a toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut. In other words, Texturizer is designed to fit your needs!

In addition to the power of macros and Cliptexts, it's also the details that makes Texturizer so useful, such as the Favorites, the customizable Open/Save dialog filters and the little "File Changed" indicator next to the filename. Many programs use Ctrl+A to Select All and Ctrl+S to Save, but Notepad don't. Guess what? Texturizer does!
