Would it be possible to be able to edit javascript from the EWB editor
please?

I have some external JS files in my project and to edit them I have to
use Notepad or the like.

Chris,

I'm really not sure I want to start doing that.  Next up would then be
syntax highlighting, etc. and pretty soon I've got a JS IDE, not an Object
Pascal IDE.

I'll have to think about this some more.

even being able to open the external js file in notepad by double or
right clicking in the project manager list would do

If you implement this, could I request that it be an 'Open With...'
feature as opposed to Notepad by default?  I personally use Notepad++
for all editing (and I assume most dev's use something other than
Notepad as their editor).

+1 from me.  I use PHPEd because it handles PHP, Javascript, HTML and CSS (as well as some others) with code insight support.

Dan,

It will be ShellExecute'ed, so it should use the proper association.

Sorry to dredge up an old post but did JavaScript editing from the IDE
ever get implemented? Double clicking an external JS file in the Project
Manager tries to run it so I guess changing that association would allow
it to be opened in an external editor. I don't see anything specific
when the file is right-clicked though. And I don't necessarily want to
change the association.

I am doing some development with web workers and other directly accessed
JavaScript code so would find it useful to be able to edit JS files
within the IDE. Just the ability to open, edit, save and search would be
great. I also like the idea of syntax highlighting (sorry Tim).

Probably pushing my luck but being able to edit JSON files (also with
syntax highlighting) within the IDE would be useful as well.

Editing these files directly in the IDE rather than via an external
editor would be preferable.

That's correct.
