CodePad.Py

What Is CodePad?
CodePad is a standalone desktop application that lets you create, edit, and run Python scripts in one place. Think of it as a “Notepad” for Python, with syntax highlighting, multi-tab support, search, theming, and quick execution.

Key Features

1. Tabbed Editing
   – Open multiple .py files side by side in tabs.
   – Close with Esc or via the File ▸ Close command.

2. Syntax Highlighting
   – Built-in themes (Ember, Turtle Green, Monokai, Solarized Dark).
   – Highlights Python keywords, built-ins, strings, comments, function/class names, types (int/float), and numbers.
   

3. Auto-Indent and Dedent
   – Enter carries forward the current line’s indentation automatically.
   – Ctrl + indents the current line or selection by four spaces.
   – Ctrl – (minus) dedents likewise.

4. Quick Search
   – Press Ctrl F to open/close a small search bar—type your query, then ▲/▼ to jump between matches.
   – Matches are temporarily highlighted in yellow.

5. Run Module
   – Executes the current script without leaving the app.
   – Bundled to call your system’s Python interpreter (so third-party modules like pygame).
   – Errors popup in a dialog so you can fix them immediately.
