To be honest... there is no menu item for launching the external html editor because the toolbar button works for many, and the keyboard shortcut for the external editor seemed to work for everybody else. You are the one and only person I know of who has reported that they can't get the keyboard shortcut for it to work. So it's a bit unfair to suggest we haven't offered an alternative to the toolbar button when we have. The alternative IS the provided configurable keyboard shortcut. I don't know why it won't work for you, but I can assure you that it (the shortcut) works fine for most.
