Boxer text editor, holy shit

So I checked in to see how my favourite old DOS text editor was doing with the windows version.

It has a billion options which I won't go into, the feature that blew me away was thier new version of Intellisense. If you don't know what that is, it's a feature of a lot of code editors where you type the first x letters of a word and it pops up a list of matches so you can be sure to spell them right, lots of function names in programming can be hard to remember.

They took this to another level. It can now also popup matches from the dictionary or thesaurus. When you type more than 3 letters of a word (Can be configured) a numbered list pops up, you can then just hit the number for the word in the list and it writes it out for you.

Not only does this make sure you spell correctly, but when you get used to quickly hitting the number for words, it speeds up your writing like crazy.

Try the demo, it sounds so simple but it's fucking amazing.

Oh yeah, it can be installed in USB mode, meaning that it will install on an USB stick and store it's config settings on the USB stick so you can always have your editor with you and setup just the way you like it.
