FileZilla View / Edit Keyboard Shortcut (or hotkey) to open file in System Editor

Question

Right now, I just want to open file from server in system default editor.

I can right-click and View/Edit Context Menu and it works.

That is just to truckin' slow because I'm a power level 9000 user!. I hunted down the wiki keyboard shortcut page but I was thinking, "maybe someone forgot to update this page".

2. followed by the V key.

Solution 2 with AutoHotkey

If installing AutoHotkey is an option, here is another way.

Use this script:

#IfWinActive ahk_class wxWindowNR   ; Only run when FileZilla has focus
v::                                 ; Set "v" for "view" as the keyboard shortcut 
Send {AppsKey}                      ; Press the "context menu" key
Sleep 100                           ; Give the context menu time to appear
Send v                              ; Press v for "View/Edit"
return

Afterwards, select a file, then

1. click V.
