how can I add Launch in Edge to the Run/Launch Menu?

Graham Coleman

I am using Windows 10 - I only see Launch commands for Firefox. IE, Safari and Chrome on the Run menu. Can someone please advise how to add Edge (Win 10 browser) to this list?

Hello @Graham-Coleman,

what you are looking for is the shortcuts.xml file.
UserDefinedCommands is the section of the preconfigured browsers.
Duplicate a line and change it to your need. Let’s take iexplore as an example

<Command name="Launch in IE" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="73">iexplore &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command>

Command name=“Here you would name it what ever you like”

These four attributes are only needed if you want to assign a shortcut
yes means you need to press this key together with the other defined keys.
Ctrl=“yes”
Alt=“yes”
Shift=“yes”
Key=“73”
I would suggest you leave it undefined which would be
Ctrl=“no”
Alt=“no”
Shift=“no”
Key=“0”
and use the shortcut mapper to do it properly.

This one is the important one.

iexplore "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

You need to find out what the process name of Edge is
and and replace iexplore with it. Keep the rest
Restart npp - done

Cheers

I been trying to do this as well. It took me a bit because edge doesn’t run from its exe file, but here’s how I did mine.–Launch to Edge Instructions–
