Syntax Highlighting
AnyEdit supports powerful and customizable syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, Perl, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, JSP, VBScript by default. Also, you can create your own syntax file to support other programming languages. More language syntaxes are available on File Listing.

Plugin Support
AnyEdit's plugin support makes it easier to add on new components and extend the functionality of AnyEdit. The user can customise AnyEdit according to his needs by adding plugins that exist and by developing new plugins.
Code Completion - Intellisense like technology
AnyEdit supports code completion - Intellisense like technology which can be found in Microsoft VC++ or VB. Users can define their own syntax files for Code completion. Make code completion technology to complete the keyword that you want to type... by pressing ctrl+space. It also has code tips which give details about the parameters to be passed to a particular method.
Auto Completion
Auto-completion is a time-saving feature which changes a short abbreviation into a complete string. You can create your own auto-completion file to support any programming language. Checkout the files section for user contributions for Auto Completion and Code Completion.
Templates - Projects & Documents

PROS: Supports regexp in find and replace. Define your own menu items. You can preview HTML files in the browser tab.
CONS: Still a little buggy. You can't set the default open file directory. Using code clips not documented. No way to sort code sections or code snippets. No shortcut keys for many menu items (underlined ALT keys).
Right clicking on a code snippet and choosing update does not do anything. Clicking Add also does nothing.
No extensions listed in the Save As dialog box. It should default to TXT.
Export to RTF does not do anything. Nor does Export to HTML.

Frequently used combinations of commands can be saved as keystroke macros, and the spelling checker has dictionaries for 10 languages. It also has a customizable tools menu, and integral file compare and search commands, with hypertext jumps from the matched text to the corresponding line in the source file (ideal for integrating compilers).
The toolbar is sensational other programmers should look to see how a little extra work makes the whole project look professional and the editor hums along nicely. Excellent. We were impressed with the thought gone into little aspects of this program which are often missed by other programmers. The e-mail client, for example, needs to be setup to handle SMTP mail but you can either retain the settings just for that session or you can have them saved (in the Registry) for posterity. Neat. The editor isn't designed to be a stand-alone e-mail client, rather it offers e-mail facilities for that letter you wanted to write.
The author has promised that future versions will have things like spell checkers but we have a feeling that by then it will be shareware. tfmSoftware/JD Wells
