Hello,

Often I have opened a file in read-write mode (default), then I later realize I 
shouldn't be editing it. So I have to close the file, and then navigate to its 
directory again and re-open it with the "view" button. This happens to me more 
often than you'd think!

I would find it very useful if there was a quick way to toggle whether an open 
file is in read-only or read-write mode. Perhaps there could be a menu item 
"Reload as read-only" under the "File" menu.

Of course, if the file is already modified (dirty) and read-only mode is then 
turned on, then the save dialog would have to be displayed, before going into 
read-only mode.
