Brackets - A Possible Replacement For Notepad++?

Read an article via Smashing Magazine regarding a new editor called Brackets and decided to give it at try.

Initial reaction is that it is actually a pretty nice editor for Web Developers.  It's more of a true IDE than Notepad++ with a nice listing of open files on the left.

So, why use Brackets?  Well, I do like the IDE type layout.  Though, I do know that there is a file listing component in Notepad++.

I suppose the best that Brackets has to offer now is the live CSS editing.  Linked with Google Chrome, Brackets can live update any changes to your CSS files immediately in the Chrome browser.  It's pretty nifty to see in action.


Give it a try:  Brackets

How To Run Chrome From Within Notepad++

If you have recently tried to Run  Chrome from within Notepad++ recently, you've probably encountered the same issue I did.  Chrome didn't run. The fix is actually really simple.  Open up the Run box in Notepad++ and browse to your installation of Chrome. ie.  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe Select the file when you find it.  Now, the trick is: Put quotation marks around the path you see in the Run  box.  Now, put 1 space after the closing quotation mark. Type this: $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) It'll look something like this: Click Run .  If Chrome opens, click Save and set your hotkey.
