[FEATURE] Option to choose default editor #217

Open marcus-king opened 11 months ago

marcus-king commented 11 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem?

When clicking a button to edit a configuration file (e.g. the "Edit .wslconfig directly" button) it appears to default to launch notepad.exe. I personally don't have notepad.exe installed because I use either Notepads or Visual Studio Code for all my editing needs. Perhaps others don't either. So when attempting to launch notepad.exe Windows throws an error, which is expected. However... (see solution)

Solution

It would be nice if there were an option to choose the default editor that these buttons launch. Its just a minor nuisance but I believe it would improve the overall experience. Just thought I would share. Otherwise everything is wonderful, great work!
