Open selected file in external viewer/editor

Post by Tuvok »

Hello,

I can't find the method to open a selected file in an external editor/viewer. Any ideas?

Alt+F3 and Alt+F4 for the external viewer/editor specified in FAR settings (see F9 - Options - Viewer settings).
Shift+Enter for OS association.

I configured the external viewer and editor. I can open both applications. What I want is that the selected file in Far opens in my external editor or viewer. a special character is needed after the command to open the application?
