How do I open a windows command (i.e. *.bat) file for editing rather than executing ?
From the ProjectExplorer pane, you can right click a .cmd or .bat file and select [Open With > TextEditor].
Aptana “remembers” this setting, so double clicking this file in the ProjectExplorer pane will continue to open the file for editing.
To go back to execute mode, right-click again but select [Open With > Default Editor]. That’s a horrible choice of labelling – i.e. Aptana’s Default Editor for .cmd,.bat files actually runs them – it doesn’t edit them.
If anyone reading knows a better way, pls comment.
