Feature request: Reload current file in read-only mode

[alex-georgiou]

Hello,

Often I have opened a file in read-write mode (default), then I later realize I shouldn't be editing it. So I have to close the file, and then navigate to its directory again and re-open it with the "view" button. This happens to me more often than you'd think!

I would find it very useful if there was a quick way to toggle whether an open file is in read-only or read-write mode. Perhaps there could be a menu item "Reload as read-only" under the "File" menu.

Of course, if the file is already modified (dirty) and read-only mode is then turned on, then the save dialog would have to be displayed, before going into read-only mode.

Menu->Document->Read Only ?

Wow, I hadn't seen that, thanks! It's exactly what I needed. What a great editor!
