Certain text editors, like MS Word, can be too complicated for some people, especially if they only need to write simple ideas, in plain text. Another issue, which is common to most editors, is their white backgrounds. Staring for too long at a white screen can impact a person's eye sight. Writemonkey comes with a solution for almost anything you do not like about standard or advanced text editors. It is a simple and lightweight text editor, which provides a few interesting options.

The software can be extracted from a 3.40 Mb archive, without having to go through a setup process. Writemonkey will not create new registry entries, which means that it is portable as well. Due to its simplicity, you can use it on any Windows version, even with older hardware.

This simple application will not bother you with any auto-correct or auto-alignment features. On the surface, it looks like a simplified version of the Notepad application, with a black background and no top menus. The color of the text is a faded green and if you switch to the full screen mode, the application will cover everything, including the task bar. In this way, you can type your text for a long time and your eyes will not get tired. If you are not satisfied with the interface's appearance, you may customize it in the application's preferences menu. It is also possible to save your settings as a new profile.

Right clicking anywhere on the editing area will reveal numerous options in a pop up menu. You will find everything you need, from basic actions, like saving or creating a new document to advanced ones, like creating bookmarks or finding and replacing text. When you are done typing, you can export the text to your default web browser, as a MS Word document or as a preview for your printer. It is also possible to include various templates, including manuscript drafts, novels and more.

Writemonkey includes a series of lookups as well. If you select a text segment and right click on it, you can use it to perform online searches, using various services, such as Google, Yahoo, Answers.com, Wikipedia and many more. All you have to do is select one of these services in a sub-menu.

Pros

The fact that Writemonkey's interface can be customized makes text editing very comfortable. It supports full screen mode, so you can see nothing but your text on a black background. The application provides a good number of features, which can be accessed from the same context menu.

Cons

You will need some time to figure out how the bookmarking feature works. Writemonkey provides the best solution for editing text, without tiring your eyes. Thanks to its simplicity, you can work in a very comfortable manner, without being bothered by any automatic features.
