Windows notepad question

Da Rossa

Hi
When I type in another text-editing software like Notepad++ or Textpad, or even a word processing program like Microsoft Word or this input field in this phpbb forum, when I type ctrl+backspace, it will erase the whole word left to the cursor. But, when doing this at Notepad, instead of erasing the word it will add a strange, nonrecognized character represented by a square.

Can I set something in Windows XP to have Ctrl+Backspace erase the word like in other apps?

Thanks!

So there is absolutely no way to do it? Sad

Thanks anyway for your quick responses Corey. Have a nice day!

I'm sure you can find a direct Notepad replacement (Notepad++ has extra features) that may have this. Try a quick Google search for "Notepad replacement."

Yeáh, I already have both Notepad++ and Textpad 5. They have this functionality. The problem is that they are not integrated to the system so, when I launch them by hotkey, they won't instantly open. And that's a big deal Razz

I believe if you rename Notepad++ to notepad.exe and throw it into Windows (backup your old notepad) it will be used by the system.

Yes, but doing this won't work really because Notepad++ itself is heavier for its features, so it won't instantly open, unfortunately Sad

All I wanted is to have notepad do it Sad

I actually looked into this, ALT+Backspace DOES delete the last FEW words, unfortunately. It does do something, tell me if this is what you were looking for.

EDIT: Have you given Notepad2 a try, it loads super quick for me and has the CTRL + Backspace functionality.
