Hello, I can't find how to send a file to an external editor???
ie. I have assigned notepad++ as my external editor when pressing Alt-F4.
This just starts notepad, but of course I want it to open the file as well. I have tryed adding the dos standard %1 and c string input %s, but they dosn't work. How shall I do?

Prior to asking, you should have read the Help section available by F1 from the Options|Editor dialog box, where you've specified the external editor.

Re: External editor
What if I wanted to only associate certain files like opening .csv files with my external text editor by pressing alt-f4?

You would have used the «File associations» feature.

Hello,
I set external editor to Ultraedit, but after I open a file using external editor Far interface blocks and I can't do anything anymore until I close Ultraedit. Feels like Far opens the extenal Editor in some blocking mode?
P.S. I am on Win7, Far 3 + ConEmu.

Use “start "" path\to\UltraEdit.exe !&”
Use “start "" path\to\UltraEdit.exe !&”

Sorry dones't work. Here's the new command:HaRT wrote:soso

start "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe !&"
The old one that worked but blocked was:
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe "!.!"
Thanks
Re: External editor
I finally succeeded.
Dunno why but if I enclose in "" the command path too it works:
@"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "!.!"
