Paul, Check out UltraEdit, it's sweet. Does everything you require + more. The autocomplete works as a drop-down, very handy from a keyboard shortcut. You can record complex macros, the syntax highlighting is excellent and available for many languages, it's fast. Here's a page w/ full list of features: http://www.ultraedit.com/index.php?name=UE_MoreFeatures I live in this editor daily; with putty it makes Windows livable and work enjoyable.
