My approach -- just one option -- is that I have a half dozen
context menu items for all files (HKCR\*) that are like Open with
Notepad, Open with Paint Shop Pro, Open with HxD, etc. So I can
open any file in the program I want with just a right click/click.
In the rare occasions when I need the Run window, it's one
of 4 items on my Start Menu, so there's no need for hotkeys.
If you're going to edit HTML very often it makes sense to find
an HTML-specific editor with syntax highlighting at the very
least. The trouble with generic editors like vim, emacs, notepad++,
etc, is that they're really just text editors that support rudimentary
colorcoding for 50 languages. Like a 50-bit screwdriver, they don't
work very well for any particular screw.
I just tried Vim for the
first time. It looks like a relic from 1980, without even support for
non-fixed-width fonts. Really? That's your favorite editor? Few people
actually hand-code HTML anymore, but there must still be decent
editors around.
I took a look out of curiosity. At DDG, the whole first
page of results was links to online editors! It seems CoffeeCup Free is
still out there. I never tried it, but it was popular at one time.
The trouble with this kind of thing is that the reviewers don't know the
products. One site rated Notepad++ #1, with no HTML-specific functionality,
yet with some other editors they complained that there wasn't built-in
FTP. Another best-of site lists Vim and Atom along with Dreamweaver.
They rated Sublime Text #1 for customizability, even though it, too,
is only a general editor. Putting Dreamweaver on the same list with the
others is like listing MSPaint with Photoshop. Only someone who's never
edited photos would do that.
