What Is UltraEdit?

UltraEdit is a commercial text editor for Microsoft Windows and Linux created in 1994 by Ian D. Mead. The editor contains tools for programmers, including macros, configurable syntax highlighting, code folding, file type conversions, project management, regular expressions for search-and-replace, a column-edit mode, remote editing of files via FTP, interfaces for APIs or command lines of choice and more. Files can be browsed and edited in tabs.

Originally called UltraEdit, it was designed to run in Windows 3.1. A version called UltraEdit-32 was later created to run in Windows NT and Windows 95. The last 16-bit UltraEdit program was 6.20b.
Beginning with version 11, the Wintertree spell check engine was replaced by GNU Aspell.
UltraEdit-32 was renamed to UltraEdit in version 14.00.

An installation of UltraEdit takes about 30 MB of disk space. It also supports Unicode and hex editing mode. It does not have complete support for Unicode and won't open files with Unicode names.
HTML editing features include:

• Integration with CSE HTML Validator for offline HTML, XHTML and CSS checking
• HTML toolbar preconfigured for popular functions and HTML tags
• Customize tags in HTML toolbar or create new tags and buttons
• CSS style builder

Menu Configurations In UltraEdit Studio

If Manage Menu Configurations is selected from the context menu the Menu Configurations dialog is presented.  If a name is entered in the New Name field then the currently active menus would be saved under this configuration name.  If a preconfigured menu name is selected (such as Basic) and the Reset button is pressed, this menu configuration would be restored to its default state.  If the Reset All button is pressed, all menu configurations shipped with UltraEdit would be restored to their default state and user-configured menu configurations would be deleted.
