12Ghosts NotePad

12Ghosts - NotePad

What does it do for me?

Easy to use editor to keep notes and infos. Provides unlimited text size, font formatting, and a multi-page-bar. Additionally, it offers innovative automation (optional): Auto-Save after each change, copy on selection, auto-scrolling at the end of the screen, and close automatically when you click outside 12-NotePad (optional). Link detection and in-place-calculation help you to work faster. With bookmarks within a page, a page bar displaying a list of recent pages, and because it opens the same page at the same position where you left typing, this will quickly become your editor of choice.

Where should I start?

When you start 12-NotePad the first time you'll see an empty page, the page title at the top, four often used commands as buttons at the top, and a page bar with two entries at the bottom. 12-NotePad is designed to work without menu commands. Instead, it has all commands in the context menu (right-click anywhere on the text).

Although you can do it with the mouse, many users find it easier to press a key to access certain commands, e.g. moving the cursor, selecting text, or formatting words. Please note the shortcut keys below, available for nearly all 12-NotePad features.

Options in the tabs "View" and "Handling" may be remarkable. For an explanation right-click on any option, which activates the context help.

You may associate 12-NotePad with any file type, for example TXT and RTF files. You can add 12-NotePad to the context menu of files, or enable files to be opened with a double-click ("Default"). If you decide to remove the association at any time, the previously associated program is restored.

Sounds

12-NotePad plays two sounds so that you can better control it. When you hover with the mouse over the top or bottom of the text window, a humming sound is played. This way it's easy to locate the auto-scrolling area even without looking. A clicking sound is played for faster or slower scrolling. (You may, for example, decreasing the volume of the humming sound. Click START - Run - enter "sndrec32". In the Windows Sound Recorder open ennnn.wav and select Effects - Decrease Volume.)
