Launching An Editor

P4Web lets you launch an external editor to work on files. First, select the file that you want to view in the editor. Then select Edit file from the pulldown menu to launch the editor on that file.

The "edit" option in the interactive resolve program also launches an external editor.

The P4EDITOR configuration setting will be used to determine which editor program to launch. If P4EDITOR was not set in your environment when the p4web executable was started up, a default editor will be launched. You may change P4EDITOR in your environment while running p4web; it will use the updated editor that you have specified. For more information about P4EDITOR, please see the the P4 Command Reference on the Perforce Technical Documentation page.
