External.exe Description

External.exe is a handy application that was designed in order to help you easily configure shortcuts for editing text and other content via your preferred editor. After downloading and unpacking the software, ensure that the files external.exe and external.ini are in a directory together. Open external.ini in a text editor and set the options Editor and !EditorBinding as explained in the comments in the file. The program can be started by manually running the external.exe command. But once you get a configuration you like you may want to place a shortcut in your Start/Programs/Startup folder so it will be automatically executed. Example Use Case 1. In a web browser's text entry box you hit a keyboard shortcut, such as Windows-V. 2. The current contents of the text entry box open in a text editor, for example Notepad. 3. You edit the text and save your changes. 4. After exiting Notepad, the edited text is automatically copied back into the browser's text area. The key combination as well as the text editor may be freely configured.
