Lightning fast.
Using a technique called virtualized display, Bend holds in memory just the lines you see on screen. When opening large files processing the lines not on screen is offloaded to a seperate thread. Infact Bend is faster than notepad at opening large files.
Tabs.
Like every good editor Bend has tabs but it doesnt stop there, Bend supports tear away tabs along with drag & drop tab rearrangement. Speaking of drag & drop, hold down ALT while starting a tab drag to drop the file to another application like Windows Explorer or Visual Studio.
Settings.
Knobs and buttons you can tweak to your taste. Choose a Theme, color Bend dark or Turn off line numbering. Everything you need is neatly hidden away behind the Bend logo.
Search.
Find on page is easy to reach on the top right. Ctrl + H brings up the Find & Replace dialog where you can do advanced Regex Search and Replacement. If you already know where to go - Ctrl + G brings up the goto line number dialog. Find on page is fluid, asynchronous and never makes you wait for Bend to catch up.
Magic Sauce.
Lots of careful touches that you will appreciate. Find dims the entire page to make the search results stand out. Instant Zoom (ctrl+mouse wheel). Right click integration with Windows Explorer. File change monitoring, notifies if the file you are editing changes underneath you. Syntax highlighting for over 30+ languages, plus heuristics that detect the language as you type. Infinite Clipboard (Ctrl + Shift + Insert), never loose anything you copied within Bend.
Auto Update.
Bend is built on Microsoft ClickOnce technology and auto updates, makes sure you always have the latest and greatest.
