Textreme 2

a text editor that looks and feels like a game · By Ash K, fiddlemouth, Maxim Loboda

Is there a way to open files with the context menu?

First - this is super cute and a way for me to stay attentive while coding.

However, I have a big issue...I find it a little annoying to open the editor first, then click open, then find the file id like to edit.
Is there a way to open via the right-click context menu while navigating through windows explorer(the folder system). Currently using the right-click/context menu with open-with will open the editor with the last opened file instead of the file selected.

I would also like to be able to open files im downloading using a ftp/server file manager. My current employer uses a custom-made file explorer. It lets me choose my text editor. Doing this will open textreme 2 but again, it does not open the file in textreme 2. My employer's app does open text files in other editors so im thinking maybe there is a way and I just missed a setting or something.

It's a shame Textreme doesn't have this built-in, but you can set it up yourself!

Make a file named "Open With Textreme.cmd" (or whatever you like, as long as it's a CMD file), and write this in it:

"C:\Users\Tophwells\Documents\Textreme\Textreme2.exe" --target_path=%1

replacing the part between quotes with whatever the path is to your copy of Textreme. Then set text files to open with this file instead.

There'll be a little command window that pops up every time you start Textreme in this way, but you can ignore it. Close it if it's bothering you.

Aw man, thanks. I appreciate it.

I made a slight edit to kill the cmd. Thanks again! :)

start "" "D:\textreme-2-windows\Windows\Textreme2.exe" --target_path=%1

Oh neat, I didn't know you could do that.
