So I am building a list starting from Alternative To and Google. Will test each of these out and see if they meet my above requirements.
...
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (tested html mixing in javascript), 14, 15
4(but you can quickly set it... maybe they did this to speed up load time), 6 (looks like there's a plugin, 8 (but one license for all platforms)
UltraEdit - I remember it back in the day. Not as fast as NotePad++ at the time but it was just as feature rich.
