Howto open .html file for editing ?

<< < (2/2)

Jenna:
And we open html-files by default in the html-viewer, because we also use it to show results of some tools, like CCCC or the html build log (if enabled) or some helpfiles or ...
This does not work, if the internal editor opens these files.
So we had to decide what we want.

And as C::B is mainly a C/C++ IDE we did it this way.
But we give you the freedom to tweak it, so it fits your needs.

Well, an IDE is an editor on steroids, not a viewer on steroids.

A decent software would have an EDIT button in the viewer - just in case. People expect an editor to edit, so if the editing is not the default action, it should be easily reachable without internet searches.

So this is why I kindly ask the development team to help us poor users - add an EDIT button in the HTML viewer.

Note: I do not intend to use C::B as the main tool for html files, but I need an alternate viewer / editor software occasionally.
