Creating keyboard shortcuts for context-menu options in windows
In the context-menu opened by right-clicking a file in windows explorer you will find the Open with... sub-menu giving you a list of applicatiions to open the current file with.
I was wondering if it is possible to attach a keyboard shortcut to this action.
What I want to do
By default, my PC opens .php files with PhpStorm. In most of the cases this is the program I want to open PHP files with. However, in some cases, I would like to open .php files with Sublime Text.
I could of course right click the file and select Sublime Text from the Open with... menu. But I'd rather do this with a keyabord shortcut.
Is it possible to open a file with Sublime Text by let's say... Pressing the F6 key?

That will get more attention, everyone here uses this software to do what you want, but you need to know a bit of scripting to get it done.....autohotkey.com
