Just because you never used Book View for anything has no bearing on the fact that you are essentially using PageEdit in the exact same capacity as those who can't live without Book View.

Don't get me wrong... if it's just muscle-memory at this point--I get it. But regardless of who things were implemented for, there is literally no difference in how you're doing it to using the external editor shortcut. The result is identical. Except for the fact that the latter will work without having to make sure Book Browser has focus first.
Isn't BetterRed saying that he has his setup that way so that he has a choice of several external editors according to the type of editing he's currently doing?

The external editor shortcut limits use to the same editor unless you re-configure each time. Or have I missed something here?
