<p dir="auto">you will need a little guide, because microsoft edge is a bit tricky.<br />
it can not be launched directly by running <code>microsoftedge.exe "path_to\yourfile.html"</code> as it is done using internet explorer, firefox and chrome.<br />
instead we will have to make <strong>shell api calls</strong>.<br />
but that’s not difficult, once you’ve read this guide.</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto"><strong>step by step guide - how to add “launch in edge” to notepad++:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">open the folder <code>%AppData%\Notepad++\</code> in explorer</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">find the file <code>shortcuts.xml</code> and open it in notepad++ for editing.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">copy the following line and paste (insert) it anywhere inside the <code>&lt;UserDefinedCommands&gt;</code>section</p>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>&lt;Command name="Launch in Edge" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="69"&gt; shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&lt;/Command&gt;
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>now your shortcuts.xml should look like the screenshot below (plus your ie and other user defined commands):</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://camo.nodebb.org/bdf64824d51725a430a92c17d8257d4ff1e01f78?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUtb5oop.png" alt="Imgur" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">save shortcuts.xml and restart notepad++<br />
(exit and reopen notepad++ to activate your shortcut changes to the run menu)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">if you now run “launch in edge” on any file, edge will open and display it, as seen at the screenshot below:</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://camo.nodebb.org/a981f776d1cf5ae24c246a43d224b86ac18f4de7?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Ffyq41HJ.png" alt="Imgur" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">note: you can also use the keyboard shortcut <code>ctrl+alt+shift+e</code>to launch edge with your file</p>
<p dir="auto">good luck and happy html coding 😉👍</p>

<p dir="auto">You can change it yourself by editing shortcuts.xml appropriately (use the existing entries as examples to create a new one).</p>
