qPad: A simple bidirectional text editor

qPad is a simple standalone Unicode notetaking and text app for Windows. It can be a good alternative for Windows' Notepad; just start your paragraph with a Right-to-left language (such as Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Urdu, etc) or a RTL Mark to make it right-aligned!

qPad 1.1.6

Simple and Lightweight

qPad has built using C++/Qt and can be run on all Windows versions without any installations required; Also unlike electron-based editors such as Typora, it has a very quick startup and takes least memory possible!


Handy Find and Replace Tool

Find and Replace

You can find multi-line expressions (pressing Ctrl+Enter makes a newline) and replace them with another expression. If you are typing in Arabic or Persian languages, you can keep 'Match Alef Hamza' unckecked so there would be no differences between 'أساسي' and 'اساسی' in results.


Detect file's encoding

When you load a file, if it has an encoding other than UTF-8, a list of possible encodings shows up and you can open the file with the proper encoding.

    The program is good, but it is very difficult to work with because there is a nasty glitch. When we call Format - Font... command from the menu, it stops working and informs that the reason for it is incompatibility with Qt5gui.dll file. Windows 7.

    Useful information. Fortunate me I discovered your web site by accident, and I am surprised why this accident didn't took place earlier!

    I bookmarked it.
