• Multiple document tabbed interface
• Quick menus allow you to easily select syntax operations to insert
• Quick Menus are fully customizable simply by changing a simple XML file in the program directory
• Brace matching support
• Make selected text "escaped" to match a specific string exactly without needing to manually write those \s,\n and other escape sequences
• Collapse/expand selection: you can create collapsible regions in your regex code for easy reading
• Select only a portion of the expression in the editor and only that selection will be executed as a match\replace

Performance analysis

• A graphical chart of the latest matches/replaces timings shows you if your optimization efforts are working
• an exact number (in milliseconds) of last match/replace operation

Expert Snippets

• An easy and simple toolbar of frequently used text snippets is always handy for hard to type expressions
• The snippets toolbar is fully customizable and any snippet can be edited/deleted or you can just add your own
• Inserted snippets that contain the "<>" signs will automatically make the text editor set the selection between those signs, allowing you to make generic snippets that save you typing time
