Everyday editing tools

Useful features, without unnecessary weight.

Texturizer was designed as a practical step up from basic Windows editors. It keeps common actions close at hand while leaving room for deeper customization.

01

Record work once. Replay it later.

Create macros from keystrokes and menu commands, save them as reusable files, edit them manually, and load them automatically when Texturizer starts.

02

Readable source code

Use configurable syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, Java, C++, and many other languages. Create or modify definitions as needed.

03

Advanced find and replace

Search documents more precisely, repeat changes efficiently, and move through large text files without relying on a full development environment.

04

An editor that adapts to your habits

Assign commands, macros, cliptext, or plain text to toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts. Adjust fonts, colors, tabs, title-bar settings, and file dialogs.

05

Cliptext for repeated text

Store frequently used addresses, code snippets, phrases, templates, and macros in reusable lists instead of typing the same material again.

06

Practical file safeguards

Use multiple undo and redo levels, automatic saving, backups, bookmarks, favorites, and file-change indicators to reduce avoidable mistakes.

Built for real editing work

Small details that make long sessions easier.

Texturizer combines familiar Windows behavior with controls that are often missing from basic editors.

Two interface styles

Open documents as tabs in one window or use a separate-window layout similar to classic Notepad.

Complete Word

Type the beginning of a word or phrase and complete it from customizable word lists, including separate lists for different document types.

Text conversions

Change capitalization, remove unwanted spaces, and apply other conversions directly inside the editor.

Format awareness

Read and write DOS, UNIX, and Macintosh line endings while displaying line, column, character count, file size, and format information.
