  It would be nice to be able to configure Notepad++ as an external editor. Often I want to open a file quickly in a simple editor. Now I have to select "Show in folder" first and then open the file with the Notepad++.

  Please allow selecting custom editors. It's really a pain when having to deal with various file formats, where I just want to open a small editor. Having to install VSCode just for this is overkill - and the "open with default" can't be used as this opens image viewers, video players, browsers and all kind of stuff that is useful for viewing thing, but not for editing the files.

  Notepad++ would be nice.
  I simply do not understand where is the problem of why not allowing to run any external editor or default system editor. It is just a couple of lines of code.

  Please, could you implement this. The option should also be adding more than one custom editor. It's really a pain when there is no way to open a file with a non-standard extension (or no extension at all) in a simple editor. And for some files (e.g. svg, html) the default system extension is a viewer, which I do not want to change. But I still need to be able to edit them also.

  I installed VSCode and accepted the default installation locations. Still, GitKraken can't find it and there is no way for me to tell GitKraken where it is! At the very least, GitKraken should allow the user to enter the file system location of any supported external applications (like most other systems do).

  Yes, please add the option to run any external editor for merging!
  
  As a start, a very simple solution would be to provide the filepaths of
  "A", "B" and "Output" during the merge and allow the user to modify
  those files externally.
