I think the answer is no, but I have asked to be sure. For files such as .reg or .bat, one can right click on them and then choose Edit, which opens the file in notepad, rather than execute the file. Is there a keyboard shortcut for Windows that can do that?

Shift+F10, N and Enter edits your file in Notepad++.
Explanation: 3 commands:
- Shift + F10 (brings up context menu)
- N (selects Notepad++)

Type this in one go and it edits your file in Notepad++.
