Somebody can explain how to use the custom editor feature?

Is it possible to use SSMS to edit the t-sql scripts?

How must be setup it?

Please review   Managing Custom Editors 

For example, try the following steps

Path = C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server Tools 18

To explore how the editor choice appears in TimeXtender:

Right-click on a table > Advanced > Customize Code

Choose your editor

 

Note:  While you may view the SQL code in your favorite editor, I don’t recommend modifying the code.

Please study all TimeXtender training modules and Best Practices on Scripting, before attempting to modify anything.

(while the above link is for legacy training, similar concepts apply to the new release regarding Scripting)

@Syed Yousuf Is it possible to use it to edit custom views and store procedures?

No, those features already have a dedicated interface. 

Thank you for exploring the UI.

It would be very useful to be able to use a custom editor in all options that uses SQL code.
