Windows UAC cannot write to Program Files

I want to have UAC enabled but at the moment it's really annoying me. I often need to edit text files that are located in the Program Files folder, but doing so requires administrative privileges. When I launch my text editor from explorer it, of course, doesn't get admin rights. Is there a keyboard shortcut for opening a program with admin rights? I don't want a shortcut or to enable 'Run as Administrator' from the editor's executable file. Additionally is there a way to create a shortcut with admin rights? I want to create shortcuts in a subfolder of Program Files but permission is denied.
