I am new to the Keybreeze and would appreciate some help. I am frequently accessing the file with the text editor (Uedit). How can I create shortcut that would open that file in a edit mode? By the way my editor is setup as a default one but after install of Keybreeze clicking or double clicking the file name just opens Keybreeze window. Is that normal? Thanks for your help.

When you double-click it, Windows doesn't recognize the file extension, so it can't open it with anything.  As a result, Windows goes to the next menu item (if you were to right-click it), which is 'Add a keyword to Keybreeze'.  This is why it opens with Keybreeze.  To change this, right-click it and click Open With, then click UEdit or browse for UEdit.  Make sure 'Always use this program to open this type of file' is selected.

You could then add a keyword with the target that leads to the text file.

If you would rather keep the file association to Notepad but open that one file only with UEdit, follow the instructions below:

If the text file you want to open is, say, C:\sample.txt, then you could add a keyword with the following target:

C:\program files\uedit\uedit.exe C:\sample.txt

If the text editor supports command-line arguments, that should work.  It may also support arguments to open a file in Edit mode.  Try a Google search for that.
