Hello,

How do I disable the external editor or change F4 shortcut? I must admit that I often press F4 instead of F5, which is annoying.

Thx. No good. These buttons with such different actions are too close to each other.

you can remove system Edit command from file extension in windows registry, eg
1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.png\Shell\Edit\command
2. delete data in (Default) string, eg
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\mspaint.exe "%1"
