I'm looking for a freeware editor which has; syntax highlighting and a code browser (or code suggestions/hints). Preferably freeware license!

I've tried out quite a few editors, but a lot of them are unfortunately very resource heavy and provides a lot more functions than I ever needed. So far, there's two editors that I really like, and is lightweight: jEdit and Notepad++.

Although, unfortunately...

Notepad++ doesn't have code browser support for both control structures and functions for PHP. Also, there's no code browser for HTML...

I really liked jEdit as well, but there doesn't seem to be a code browser for it. Except for maybe Completion, but it's a bothersome plugin, and doesn't show the code browser unless you type something in and press CTRL+B.

Other editors I've tried, but wasn't satisfied with:
Adobe Dreamweaver
CodeLobster PHP Edition
Aptana Studio
Komodo Edit
EditPlus
BlueFish
PHP Designer 2007 - Personal
PhpStorm
Scriptly
Eclipse
UltraEdit
Notepad2
EditPad Pro
Rapid PHP

EDIT I'm using Windows XP
