Modern Equivalent of ASMPad?

So if you don't know about ASMPad, see here

What is a modern program I can use that has these features in it like address tooltips, address searching, and syntax highlighting? Or, what do you guys use nowadays? These would be a HUGE help over normal ol' Notepad for coding in a SMW context.
Notepad++ is a great improvement over Notepad, and it's what I use for coding.

I know there are modules for Notepad++, so how do I add the disassembly tooltips/searching and syntax highlighting to it?
Not sure, i just use normal notepad++ and is functional enough for me.
For syntax highlighting there's a "syntax-highlighting.xml" file that comes with asar that you can use for syntax highlighting in notepad++

Not sure what you mean by "disassembly tooltips/searching" though.


There's also Visual Studio Code which has a few extensions in the marketplace for 65816 assembly. One of them is also specifically made for smw hacking and pulls tooltips from the ram map if that's what you wanted.


Personally I usually just use notepad++ with the syntax highlighting, the VSC extensions are neat but I haven't really gotten into it too much to use it myself.
I started using regular ol' notepad and switched to VSCode a couple of months ago.

While I was switching my workspace to VSCode, I made a syntax highlighter for asar, but I believe it isn't compatible with the extension that pulls info from the RAM/ROM maps, as I wanted it to be more general and less SMW specific.
