Apps which can edit text files, or open directories as an IDE, should be known to the Bench system.
The Bench system can then provide a user interface for opening the default editor with an empty file, a specific file or a whole directory/project.

The following cases should be distinguished, because the user might prefer different apps for them:

  • Opening a directory in an editor / IDE
  • Opening one or multiple text files in an editor

The following use cases are considered:

  • Bench CLI command to open a directory in the default editor
  • Bench CLI command to open one ore multiple text files in the default editor
  • open-dir.cmd script on the PATH to open a directory in the default editor
  • open-text.cmd script on the PATH to open one ore multiple text files in the default editor
  • Optionally register a context menu entry Bench Editor for the Windows Explorer in HKCU - for directories and files, respectively
  • Button in the Bench Dashboard to open the default directory editor
    (with drag-and-drop support)
  • Button in the Bench Dashboard to open the default text editor
    (with drag-and-drop support)

For project support the following use cases are considered:

  • Opening a project directory in the default editor
  • Opening a file from the project tree in the default editor
