#9 : Developing Powershell scripts with Notepad++

Not sure how many are using Notepad++ for developing Powershell, but I am using Notepad++ every time I develop. Being Powershell developer, it helps alot due to following reasons: 

1. Syntax highlighting : This is really easy and you can also edit the color code you want. You can download syntax highlighter or you can make your definition. These things are so easy. Just go to style configurator and set the color you want. 

2. Block Collapsing : The + sign to the left of function block or if statement makes code more and more manageable. ALT+1 and ALT+2 can be used for different levels collapse you want. 

3. Freeware : This tool is free and you don't have to convince your manager. Just request to download. You can also find portable version of Notepad++ also.

Please see the download location at - http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
