Total Commander (English) • Re: Editor for main menu file

...This would open the wincmd.ini with the default editor...

jonathanpoulin here implies editing a .mnu file, not the wincmd.ini one.
And this is a design flaw of the Total Commander which not only lacks a configurable option for a user-preferred editor for those purposes, but it even ignores a user-defined default editor for the .mnu files set for the system as the whole (e.g. I set AkelPad to open .mnu files in the system, the Total Commander still uses notepad in the dialog described by jonathanpoulin).

NB Meanwhile, unlike the above user case, the Total Commander has the semi-hidden option to separately configure editor within the Multi-rename Tool dialog.

Option A.
Manually create a user button or a user command that will apparently tie your editor with your .mnu file, e.g.:Option B.
B.1. Associate the .mnu files with your editor (e.g. right-click on a .mnu file - Properties - Edit with ... [Change...], and opt for the notepad++ there.
B.2. Then you can manually create a user button or a user command for which your .mnu filename would be enough.
or
In this case, you can just drag and drop a .mnu file to the Total Commander toolbar, obtaining a button like this:
Note. The notepad++.exe path and the WCMD.MNU filename there in your case would differ and should reflect the actual ones.
