Fetch Help > Commands > Edit With submenu

The Edit With submenu lets you temporarily use a different editor for making changes to the selected file.

This command is available:

- The Edit With submenu in the Remote menu
- The Edit With submenu in the file list contextual menu
- The Edit With submenu in the shortcut list window contextual menu

Normally the Edit command edits files using the editor specified in the Transfer Options pane of the info window. The default editor for a kind of file is usually the same as the application that would normally open that kind of file, although in certain cases the editor may be different from the normal opening application because that application cannot edit files.

The Edit With menu is useful if you would like to use a different editor temporarily.

Select a file in a file list, and then choose an application from the Edit With menu. Fetch will download the file and open it in the chosen editor.

This editor choice is temporary. The next time you edit that kind of file, the default editor for that kind of file will be used. (The current default editor is listed at the top of the Edit With menu.) You can permanently change the editor for a certain kind of file in the Transfer Options pane of the info window, or by using the Edit With command and checking the Remember this editor choice checkbox.

See the Edit command help topic for more information about editing and other variations of the Edit command.
