F4 and Shift+F4 will work if you choose Notepad++ under:
Configuration -> Options -> Operation -> Edit/View -> "Editor for F4" group

For F3 you have to create your own user command and assign it to needed key:
1. Configuration -> Options -> Misc
2. Choose F2 and click on magnifying glass icon
3. select "usercmd.ini" on left side
4. New -> enter em_notepad2 -> OK
5. select new command on right side and click on OK
6. assign it clicking on greed icon
7. Apply or OK should do the rest

It is not possible in TC in easy way.
You will have to have external tool for creating file and loading additional editor.

Viewertype=2
Viewer=path_to_notepad2\notepad2.exe

Is it my imagination or Shift+F4 will just load notepad2 with selected/focused file?

I thought that spuri wants to create new file first and then open it with notepad2.

No, You are right about that.

Aha, That's what he meant by "createfile()"

That's currently not possible - I can only suggest that spuri then tries to live with:

F3 - notepad++
F4 - notepad2
shift+F4 - notepad2 - or other for createfile()

wich is possible, and doesn't even involve the use of em_ commands.

Change the path to real location.

For F3 and F4, explained above.

Just to point out my second post in this thread...

You will have to have external tool for creating file and loading additional editor.

As fenix_productions points out - what you suggest involves external tools - which spuri doesn't seem to want.

Nice solution - nothing like som good ol' batch programming

[spuri]

I could find an easy solution

editor - notepad++
viewer - notepad2

configuration - misc - redefine hotkeys ->
F3 -> cm_Edit
F4 -> cm_List

I just replaced F3 and F4

finally

F3 - notepad2
F4 - notepad++
shift+F4 - notepad2

The simplest solutions are hardest to find.
I am impressed
