Setting up VSCode as default editor for Omniverse

Hi there,

So this is a dumb question but I can’t seem to find an easy answer anywhere.

I am looking to create new extensions and nodes for my projects. Everything in the examples leads me to believe that, for example, under the Node Description Editor, when I am defining a new node I should be able to select Edit Node and it will open up VSCode automatically.

I have VSCode installed, it is my default app for Python, yet whenever I try to use in-built buttons like above where VSCode is expected to open automatically, I get Vim instead. Where can I change this setting/get it to look at VSCode for me? I am on an Ubuntu machine.

Is your default IDE set to vim in Ubuntu?

I believe it should be set to VSCode.

I have run

xdg-mime default code.desktop text/plain

and

sudo update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/code

Any time I double click on a text file in GUI it seems to default to VSCode.

Is there something basic I am likely missing?
