Afte changing to 1.7.0-rc2, @edit works in the terminal, but not in VScode.

Try changing the julia.editor setting to code.cmd.

Hm. In the settings:

Julia: Editor

Command to open files from the REPL (via setting the `JULIA_EDITOR` environment variable). Defaults to `code` / `code-insiders` if unset.

Edit in settings.json

But there is no variable JULIA_EDITOR or julia_editor in settings.json.

Yeah, that’s the setting you’re supposed to change.

Yes, it’s been dawning on me.
Working now with settings.json - Thx a lot!
