I’m trying to use Godot to open a .cs file. It just goes to find VS Code on my system instead, despite the fact I turned off external editors and don’t have VS Code anymore.
This is an error message that occurs when I try to open a script:
Is it under Editor/Text Editor/External - Use External Editor ?
Nope. As I said, Use External Editor is toggled off.

Ah yes so you did… sorry…
Maybe the setting is in the config file…
For me on Windows, they are saved here: C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\Godot\editor_settings-3.tres
You could always rename that file and start again.

I use Linux, Linux Mint.

Yes, but you should still have that file or one like it somewhere in your file system.

Found it. It’s still toggled off.

ah bugger…
no idea then I’m a Linux CLI kinda guy…
Could be a bug, might be worth raising an issue…
Or rename the Godot directory that the editor_settings-3.tres file is in and run Godot again and see what happens.
On Windows the Godot directory gets re-created. If that happens you can copy the directories over you need, such as projects etc… and hope it still works.

Deleted everything labeled “Godot” on my system. It fixed the problem.
Now I can finally use the built-in text editor and Atom as well.
