External viewer?

Post by kinook »

Is there a way to define a single keystroke to open the selected file(s) in a user-configured viewer/editor? Something quicker than right-click -> Open With -> choose program. (Equivalent to AB Commander's Ctrl+Q.)

Sure, just create a new UDC. Go in menu User|Manage Commands and select category "Open With", you can chose which app to use, maybe specify some settings like command-line parameters, and of course assign a KS to it!
