Original submission:
the editor needs a read-only mode. in this mode, cursor navigation would work as normal, but any attempt to modify the content would pop up a confirmation dialog requesting to switch the mode. the mode would be initialized from the file's access rights. a manual toggle (and possibly a command line switch to be able to use the editor as a viewer) would be provided.

#28 should be improved, not this one. At least this feature looks strange enough. And in the lights of previous days I think we just should merge viewer. For now viewer has hex editor ...

There is another convenient solution for this issue. It would be great if viewer would have key shortcut to run editor on the same file (so i view some file, understand that i need to edit it, then press, say Alt-F4 and get editor on this file from the same position).

Here is proposed patch to implement this (default key binding is F14 aka shift-F4, keymap name ViewRunEditor?).

I thought that default editor behaviour (placing current line in the middle of the window) not convenient when switching from viewer to editor (thus is results in shifting text), so i modified abovementioned patch to disable such scrolling in this very case.

It's not a solution for "read-only mode of editor". Ticket #2156 was created for "run editor from viewer" enhancement.
