| <h1>Opening files for editing</h1> |
| <p>You can launch an editor for a given file in several ways.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>By right-clicking the file in one of the navigation views and then selecting <b>Open</b> from the pop-up |
| menu.</li> |
| <li>By double-clicking the file in one of the navigation views.</li> |
| <li>By double-clicking a bookmark that is associated with that file, in the Bookmarks view.</li> |
| <li>By double-clicking an error or warning, or task record that is associated with that file, in the Problems |
| view.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>All of the above alternatives open the file in the default editor for that type of file. To open it in a different |
| editor, select <b>Open With</b> from the file's pop-up menu.</p> |
