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

He can keep all of his other external "Open With" editor settings the way they are. No need to change them. Removing the one configured opf editor (leaving the rest intact) and configuring the external editor to be PageEdit would leave him in the exact same position he is now (without needing to make sure BookBrowser has focus before using the external editor shortcut).
There is no advantage/difference to launching PageEdit from the opf using "Open With" over launching the external editor configured to be PageEdit. In fact, there's a couple of quantifiable downsides to the former. It's just a different driveway to the exact same house.
Like I said: if it's a "that's just what I'm used to" thing. I get it. Nothing to explain. But there's no logical justification (or practical for that matter) for continuing to use PageEdit via the Open With feature. Not for the reasons he says he's using PageEdit for anyway.
