Total Editor (TCEditor.exe) allows you to Open or Edit files with a specific extension (file type) in selected application, previously defined by the user. It works with Total Commander File Manager.
Total Commander File Manager support File View and File Edit actions. With Total Commander Editor you can customize the viewing/editing of different types of files in different applications. This allows you to create associations of files with a given extension with a specific application, independent of the operating system.
File View action is activated by pressing the F3 key on the keyboard (or F3 View button on the Function Key Bar). File Edit action is activated by pressing the F4 key on the keyboard (or F4 Edit button on the Function Key Bar). Total Editor (an external viewer/editor for Total Commander File Manager) interprets these commands appropriately and launches the appropriate program for the given file extension.

INSTALLATION
Total Editor application (TotalEditor.exe) must be located in the root directory of Total Commander File Manager (where Totalcmd.exe is located). It works correctly in Windows 7/8/10/11. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. Use 64-bit application with 64-bit File Manager (in 64-bit Operating System) and 32-bit application in 32-bit File Manager (in 32/64-bit Operating System). For now, you have to place exe file in TC root directory manually. Maybe I will write some installer in future, that will copy proper file and register it in Total Commander.

This tool was originally written for Ultimate File Manager project (called UFM Shell Manager). I decided to make it available for all Total Commander users. The tool was written in Delphi CE. It is distributed under Freeware license (no sources available).
