Configure your own Settings --> Editor
, and then you can double click the file in result list to open it using that editor.
I think it is a better solution:
That would just open the file in the editor without highlighting the matches for that file, rather defeating the purpose.
I think this could work better without creating a new view.
I never thought about it before, but it is kind of annoying that switching views always jumps back to the top of the list -- might as well keep their place in the list if possible. This might be good as a feature that can be turned on and off in case not everybody agrees -- but then again, getting to the top or bottom of the list is not terribly hard using Home or End.
Follow-on request for us keyboard junkies: an easy keystroke to toggle between Files and Content view. Suggested candidates: Shift-Enter, numpad-plus, back-tick, backslash.

defeating the purpose
grepWin
is neither an editor nor a reader.
Now, we have %column%
together with %line%
for external editors, which will help to locate the position. Highlight marking is fancy, but not essential, comparing to syntax highlighting.
I can feel your eager of feature request. In fact, it's always easier said than done. Hoping there would be elegant solutions, but no promises.

Taste quick locating immediately: typing the file name in the list view works, like in Explorer.
It would be nice to be able to see a list of the files where grep has matched content, then click on the entry in the files list and see a side-pane or something listing the matches for that file (line and text), rather than just having all matches together with the Content view. Could we add that UI?
