IMPORTANT

This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.

  • Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
  • This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
  • You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
  • There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
WARNING

twistpad has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Description

Twistpad is a fully featured text and code editor for Windows. Twistpad can be used as a simple notepad replacer or a featured packed editor targeting web and software developers. Twistpad supports a full range of syntax highlighting (colored keywords) for the most popular formats out of the box (HTML, ASP, XML, C++, Java, Pascal, etc) but it's strength relies on the easy to create new highlighting schemes.

Home users, Open Source contributors, students, hobbyists and charity or humanitarian organizations can use the FREE EDITION for non-commercial activity ONLY.

Written in native code (32 bit only for free edition), you can be sure that no system files are altered or large additional run-time libraries are required. Performance is also something we had in mind when designing Twistpad, so fast start up time and fast text parsing are guaranteed.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
