[Swansea Hackspace] Text Editor for code...

[Emyr Morris]

you should try notepad++

never had a problem, the tabs stack nicely, I can access all the scripts I
need to quickly, and granted I probably have more open than I need... but
it has never been a problem. Every few months or possibly once a year I
will go round closing a few I have not worked on for a while ;-) - am I
kidding? You will never know!

And the global find is a breeze
