How to open different types of file with one single key in Dired?
Just kidding. Of course you can open files with a key binding. I personally use a hacked version of openwith package. I wanted exactly same thing as you, to be able to open a file in external application with a key shortcut, so I have hacked original openwith.el to achieve this. My setup is like this: I press S- to open a file in external application. If I press just it will open a file in Emacs itself. So S- on a pdf file opens it in Okular in gnu/linux and just opens a pdf in Emacs with pdf-tools. You can see my setup on github if you are interested. Scroll down to * Pacakges/Dired.
