Seeking Simple Text Editor

Hello. Can anyone recommend a simple text editor for rtf, or at least txt, which works with an external keyboard? In Windows (XP and 7), I use Wordpad without ribbons, and occasionally, Jart, if that helps. I downloaded Voicedream Writer, but I don't need all of those features, nor do I need something for notes or uploading to various sites. Pretext works well, but it can't handle large documents. I read about something called Textor, which is supposed to be similar to Text Edit on the Mac, but it's no longer available. Any help would be appreciated.

For creating or editing simple text documents that you can access from other cloud services, I would suggest iA Writer. I believe it only does basic text, no RTF. You may be able to export them though.
Hope that helps,
Dave

Bear Notes app, you create notes and then save them to RTF - and it can open RTF too.
I had also another RTF Write but it's not actively maintained, I suppose; or also DRAFTS, which has been reviewed here some time ago.

I am sorry it has taken me this long to reply. I thank both of you for your suggestions. Just to clarify, I am not seeking something like the Notes app, as I can't export to other locations. I want a regular text editor for txt and possibly rtf, though at this point, a plain txt editor would also be fine. I may have tried Ia Writer, but I'm not sure. Does it work well with an external keyboard?

SimpleNote is what you may like. It is great, compact and free.
