External text editor

Hello,

Is it possible to change the default text editor for i.e. colls and js to an external one. This way dubble clicking a js box would open say BBedit.

Thanks.

Nope, this is not currently possible.

Anything new here after 11 years? Is it still impossible?..

Aha! There is an 'External Text Editor' setting in Max8 preferences, and there is an 'Open with external editor' command in File menu (Alt-Cmd-O).
This is better than nothing, but I still can not find a way to open js files in external editor by default (by double clicking on js/jsui object).

Got it! I was wrong: there is an 'Always open in external editor' setting in Max8 preferences. Case closed! :)
