User case:

According to the documentation for the Advanced setting, as of: http://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/settings3.1.html, the following settings are opening up my external editors fluently. The file in the Sumatra session should also be automatically loaded in the new "Viewer" session. Nice job!


ExternalViewers [
    [
        CommandLine = "c:\Program Files (x86)\ABBYY FineReader 12\FineReader.exe"
        Name = "ABBYY"
    ]
    [
        CommandLine = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
        Name = "Adobe"
    ]
]

More over: menu shortcut are possible through &

Doing the following small adjustment to the Name shall create a "Menu-shortcut", where ABBYY could not be triggered through pressing Y when I have activated the File menu-item.

Request: how to trigger these External Viewers through REAL Shortcuts?

I would like to trigger these external Viewers through a keyboard shortcut, especially for the ABBYY Findreader. (This software is reasonably good at OCR, but really lacks command-line support. So, the best way I can think of is to implement a shortcut for triggering it as an external viewer through Sumatra.

I have asked the same question in another Sumatra repo, as: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/777

This is a different project named Sumatra; it is not Sumatra PDF reader
