      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
        Claudia

          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–
