Today, we are releasing EmEditor v15.6.0.

Updates from v15.5.1 include:

New General Features

• Improved the speed of opening files. Compared to v15.5, the speed to open a large file (809 MB – 2.02 GB) became 12% – 23% faster.
• You can now select the update channel. Selecting the beta channel will notify you all updates including betas.
• The Quick Launch command now includes three modes: Commands (Ctrl + Shift + C), Options (Ctrl + Shift + O), and Symbols (Ctrl + Shift + S). Ctrl + Space to bring up the menu to change the mode.
