My mistake, I guess I ran the 5.5.0 installer instead of 5.5.1. Thanks for getting this fixed and sorry about the error in my report.
It works ok for me in 5.5.1. Are you using this version? What happens if you press E
second time?
I finally upgraded to the latest version, and pressing E now goes to edit on the menu, but doesn't automatically activate it. I went back and checked previous versions, pressing E will select and activate edit, so that just one key press is required to open a file for editing.
Thanks!
In the previous version of WinSCP (using the Commander interface) you were able to right click on a file and press e to open the file for editing, rather than manually selecting it from the menu or using the F4 shortcut. This was a helpful feature, as F4 is a pretty far reach compared to e. It would be nice to have this feature back.
