Notepad++ (also called Notepad Plus Plus) is a free editor which can be downloaded from [[http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ notepad-plus-plus.org]]. It has some functionality that makes it preferable as a editor for creating TUFLOW control files. This functionality includes:
* Colour coding of TUFLOW files (syntax highlighting). '''Thanks to Edenvale Young putting together the syntax highlighting file.'''
* Ability to start a TUFLOW simulation using the currently open files as the .tcf input.
* Ability to highlight a filename and open the file directly. For example from a .tcf a a geometry control file (.tgc) can be opened without having to locate it in an explorer style menu.
 
In order to setup the syntax highlighting and the shortcuts an .xml file is required. This can downloaded from the "Other" section of the TUFLOW downloads page [[http://www.tuflow.com/ProductDownload.aspx www.tuflow.com]].

A video tutorial on how to set up these features is presented here: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=407&v=rHEhScXer6E TUFLOW YouTube channel]]<br><br>
