I'm one of the people who actually makes use of the Seamonkey
Composer. Yes, I know that it's unsupported, and that it has
numerous limitations and annoyances, but I've found it to be useful
for quick-and-dirty HTML editing.
Over the last few days, I've found problems with the composer, in
that it's not letting me edit anything. I don't think that's related
to upgrading to SM 2.30, but likely something funky in my user
profile. I have found that if I use Safe Mode, the composer is
working OK.
Rather than trying to debug profile settings, or rebuild a profile,
I've been using Komposer, and that seems to be working fine, where
the operational procedure is nearly identical to the Composer. (I
know that Blue Griffon is newer, and that's where the development
work is being applied, but I find that one frustrating, in that it's
difficult to resize fonts quickly. Thus, for what I'm doing it looks
like Kompozer is adequate).
In the process, I'm finding that the one thing that I really miss
about the Composer is the keyboard shortcut used to launch it. It's
really nice to be viewing an HTML file, and simply press CTRL-E to
open, and start editing. By contrast, with Kompozer (or for that
matter, any other HTML editor), I have to do the combination of
opening the editor, and then navigating to find the file. It's
minor, but annoying.
The question I have is whether there's a way of creating a keyboard
shortcut that replicates this function: call a specified HTML editor
to edit the file that's being viewed. (I'm assuming that CTRL-E is
hard-coded into Seamonkey to call the Composer element, and can't be
redirected to call an external program).

Unsure if it helps, but on Linux, ctrl-4 calls composer-window and
ctrl-e calls the messaging compose-window. HTH.
SeaMonkey "top-toolbar / Help / Composer" has a nice table of editing
keystroke-shortcuts that may also be useful to you.
Apologies for the noise! Ctrl-E does still open a HTML file to be
edited. (I learn something every day!). Did you try enabling/disabling
your addons, for a conflict problem? A problem addon has caught me a
couple of times in the past.
