      How to add Launch in Edge in Notepad++
      -TFleck

      METHOD 1 (Short Version)
      
      1. Find “shortcuts.xml” (usually in C:\users\ %username%\appdata\roaming\notepad++)

      2. Edit the file.
        Then copy and paste this under “<UserDefinedCommands>”

        <Command name=“Launch in Edge” Ctrl=“no” Alt=“no” Shift=“no” Key=“0”>$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) &quot ;microsoft-edge:// "</Command>

      3. Save, then open or restart Notepad++

        METHOD 2 (Longer Version)

      4. Find “shortcuts.xml” (usually in C:\users\ %username%\appdata\roaming\notepad++)

      5. Edit the file.
        Then copy and past one of the commands under “<UserDefinedCommands>”
        (for example the firefox launcher command)

        <command name=“Launch in Firefox” Ctrl=“yes” Alt=“yes” Shift=“yes” Key=“88”>firefox “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”</Command>

      6. Change the following attributes:
        “Launch in Edge”
        Ctrl=“no”
        Alt=“no”
        Shift=“no”
        Key=“0”

      7. Next change the command:
        Original= >firefox "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"<
        New Command= >$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) &quot ;microsoft-edge:// "<

      8. Restart Notepad++

        NOTE - You edit your attributes through modifying the shortcut in the “Run” dropdown menu in Notepad++.
        Also be sure to add the space before and after the &quot on the FULL_CURRENT_PATH side, as well as
        the space after the // on the edge side.
