For example, paste this button on your toolbar:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="icon" textcol="none" type="three_button">
<label>Als Text öffnen</label>
<icon1>#read</icon1>
<button backcol="none" display="both" hotkey="f3" textcol="none">
<label>Read as text</label>
<tip>Read as text</tip>
<icon1>#read</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>@nodeselect </instruction>
<instruction>{alias|home}\Tools\editor.exe /V {filepath$}</instruction>
</function>
</button>
<button backcol="none" display="both" hotkey="f4" textcol="none">
<label>Edit as text</label>
<tip>Edit as text</tip>
<icon1>#edit</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>@nodeselect </instruction>
<instruction>{alias|home}\Tools\editor.exe /E {filepath$}</instruction>
</function>
</button>
<button backcol="none" display="both" hotkey="shift+f4" textcol="none">
<label>Edit with N++</label>
<icon1>D:\Programme\Notepad++\notepad++.exe,0</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>@nodeselect </instruction>
<instruction>{alias|programfiles}\Notepad++\notepad++.exe -multiInst -nosession -noPlugin -notabbar {filepath$}</instruction>
</function>
</button>
</button>

But look at the hotkeys at the button above - they might not fit your needs, you would have to change them then.
Besides this, I have another Hotkey (Shift + F3) for "view with Notepad++" (which didn't fit in the three-way-button anymore )
@nodeselect
{alias|programfiles}\Notepad++\notepad++.exe -multiInst -noPlugin -nosession -notabbar -ro {filepath$}
Vitali2000's first answer will create toolbar buttons which also have hotkeys.
If you want to create standalone hotkeys, without any toolbar buttons, you can do that via Settings -> Customize -> Keys. The commands will be similar to what's in the box in Vitali2000's 2nd post (depending on exactly which arguments you want to pass to Notepad++).
Its working now
Thx for the help!
Im getting more and more pleased with this file-manager.
I have used TotalCommander for quite some years, but the project is not moving so fast forward.
I will test this program in the trial and if it continue to be so nice to work with i'll get a licens!
