Re: WSL - Visual Studio Code - point and click
Hi Andrew I agree completely about registry changes but this one's easily undo-able. I'm just experimenting really - I've got Arch Linux working well now in Virtualbox and Lilypond/Frescobaldi also running well.

It's very easy to get point and click going in Linux. I am deeply averse to messing with the Windows 10 registry, no matter how clever the hack may be. But my feelings about the registry are not shared by all. I do all my professional work in Virtualbox Linux with Lilypond happily pointing and clicking away for years. On this list some time ago I posted a HOWTO for Ubuntu in this area, and the NR of course has some other useful info for Linux.

I tried to hack Aaron Hill's answer from a couple of years ago https://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg129393.html but no joy (it could be me of course) Anyone out there got a method for Windows 10 64bit and current VSC/WSL2 etc? thanks Damian This is how far I've got: textedit.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit] "URL Protocol"="" @="URL:textedit" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit\shell] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit\shell\open] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\textedit\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Tools\\textedit\\textedit.cmd %1" textedit.cmd: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL SET CODE=/mnt/c/Users/damia/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft\ VS\ Code/bin/code SET URL=vscode://file/`/bin/wslpath -m %%(file)s`:%%(line)s:%%(column)s SET ENV=/usr/bin/env -i LYEDITOR='%CODE% --open-url %URL%' SET CMD=/usr/local/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor %* C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe %ENV% %CMD%
