    Description

      I would like to suggest that the Locator behavior is extended in such a way, that allows the user to select the editor using which the located file under cursor will be opened.

      Current behavior (keep it as the default):

      1. User: presses Ctrl+K
      2. User: types part of file name
      3. User: presses Enter
      4. Qt Creator: opens the selected file in the default editor

      Proposed alternate behavior:

      1. User: presses Ctrl+K
      2. User: types part of file name
      3. User: presses Ctrl+Enter
      4. Qt Creator: displays "Open File With..." dialog
      5. User: selects editor to open file with
      6. Qt Creator: opens the file using the selected editor
