Open File With Associated Application
I want to associate csv files with IDEA but occasionally I want to open them in Excel.
There is no option in IDEA to right-click on a file and have it open in the associated application.
The only way is to switch the association in the settings and then switch it back after or to Open in Explorer then open the file from there.
Long ago the Native Neighborhood plugin was very useful in this regard and although most of the functionality was replicated to core IDEA, this particular feature was not migrated.

I have created an external tool to do this:

However, it would be nice to see it in the main context menu.
As an aside, the documentation for external tools should add a note on how to use command line like this.
i.e. cmd.exe wasn't working until I realised I needed the /c option in the parameters.
The only documentation about this was my old post about it :)

For Mac OS X users, the parameters for the external tool should be as follows.
