If TortoiseHg isn't using the editor you want, you can explicitly set it in
Settings. With a basic install you can just set it once in your global
settings. You want the Visual Editor field. The comment on this field says
"... if left unspecified, TortoiseHg will use the first applicable tool it
finds." I'm guessing Visual Studio installed itself in such a way as to be the
'first applicable tool'.
p.s. Sorry about the idiot text they append at the bottom.

Subject: [thg] TortoiseHg edit local function 'hijacked' by Microsoft Visual
Studio
Hi,
I had various versions of TortoiseHg installed on Windows 7 x64 for a few
years, then I installed Microsoft's Visual Studio 2015 (community edition).
After that, whenever I am in TortoiseHg and right click to local edit an
.hgignore file, instead of using my default text editor, it starts up Visual
Studio, which is quite annoying. However, in Windows Explorer if I
double-click .hgignore it will use my default text editor as it should.
I have tried un-installing then re-installing TortoiseHg but the above keeps
happening.
Apart from un-installing Visual Studio, is there anything I can do to prevent
this occurring? Is it a bug in TortoiseHg?
TIA,
John
