Unfortunately I encountered a few more problems I couldn't solve:
1. When the file is shown with a Lister plugin, it may be locking the file, so the editor can't open it.
2. The user may have already modified (and not saved) the file in a lister plugin when pressing F4.
3. Closing Lister when I press F4 was very annoying when I wanted to press F3 and accidentally pressed F4 instead.
4. The whole problem with temporarily downloaded or extracted files is even worse than I thought: In some cases, e.g. when using a multiple document editor which was already open, Windows would not return a window handle to watch to see when the editor has closed. In such a case, TC shows a confirmation dialog where the user has to confirm when he closed the editor. This dialog would be shown on top of Total Commander, but TC may be busy with a foreground operation or show other dialogs, or even be minimized then.
