If I open my .dmp File locally, it opens with VS2013 and shows everything correctly. When I now try to open the .dmp File in https://vscode.dev/ it tells me that it can't open binary and basically gives me the same as when I would open the .dmp with Notepad++.
Is there a way to use VSCode.dev to open and read .dmp Files easily?
I'm trying to run HTML for the first time in VS code, but when I run it, it says
"google-chrome" is not recognized as an internal or external
command,operable program or batch file.
A screenshot of my problem has been attached below.
How can this be fixed?
You have to save that file with the name that browser can recognize, it should look something like 'filename.html'. Then you can open it with a web server application like xampp, or just open it on your file explorer.
The issue is that google-chrome is not a recognized command in Windows (it is in Linux distros).
The easiest way to make it work is saving the ".html" file with a proper name (something.html) and then use the command cd "C:\Users\LGU BATO\Desktop\html\" && something.html.
An explanation of this command is:
First, it will cd into the directory, as listed on the screenshot. This changes the directory of the command prompt window.
It will then open the file with your default browser.
I am using the latest VS Code to write python Qt code (under Ubuntu 20.04). One obstacle is that VS code does not recognize known file types such as .ui files, and opens it as raw text or xml file.
By comparison, other editors such as eclipse opens the .ui file with its OS default program -- Qt Designer. With VS Code, I had to open a file manager and then find and double-click the file to open it the right way (the same as opening the file using xdg-open in terminal), which is quite inefficient.
Does anyone know of a way to configure VS code to open a known file directly using its OS default program?
There are two extensions that I know of that tackle this problem (no affiliation):
Open in External App
... with this extension, you can do it more simply. Just right click to the file, and select Open in External App, that file would be opened by system default application. You can also use this way to open .psd files with photoshop, .html files with browser, and so on...
The configuration implies that you need to manually set which app to use for which extension, so it doesn't simply use the default configured in your OS (at least not in my brief test).
Open
Opens files using the OS's default program for the file type
This does what it says out of the box, but the keyboard shortcut seems to fail. The command can only be triggered via the right-click menu of the file in the vscode file browser.
I have Eclipse already running, and I want to be able to open a file and jump to a line number from CLI.
I want the file to open in the current open workspace. I am trying this:
/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse --launcher.openFile test_file.c:401
However, I am getting an error because the default workspace is already open, and its asking me to choose another workspace.
if I simply use open text_file.c it works just fine, but doesn't jump to the line number of course.
Edit: Even after starting in a new session, and removing the line number, Eclipse doesn't open the file. It only opens the application (Eclipse).
however if I use open -a eclipse filename the file opens successfully
Thanks to Lili for the correction:
Opening a file in the same workspace via command line does not work on mac, bug1
Opening a file/linenumber in eclipse is not supported
Is there a way of opening a file from the terminal in Visual Studio Code that opens in the same vscode instance that runs the terminal? Similar to c9 tool in Cloud9.
I'm aware of the code tool, but when you run code something.php from the integrated terminal it opens a new vscode instance, which is not what I want...
You can use -r or --reuse-window command line option.
code -r something.php
just
code file_name
I tried it on Win10 and on Linux (Ubuntu)
I don't know what operating system you're using, but on MacOS you can just say open filename.ext in the integrated terminal, and it will open a new tab in the same VSCode instance, ready for you to edit.
If you are having command not found: code in macOS, use a full path to it.
/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code -r [filename]
Open Visual Studio Code
Press CMD + SHIFT + P (this opens "Command Palette")
Type shell command
Select “Install code command in path”
Navigate to any project from the terminal, and type code .
If it didn't work, select “Uninstall code command from path” first, then reinstall it again.
I use code -r . to open the current directory in the main window.
You can use the code command from the CLI to open a file, but if you want it to open in the existing window, either use code -r <file> as mentioned in other answers (which does work for me on Ubuntu Linux), or, if -r does not work (under WSL?), make sure window.openFilesInNewWindow is either off or default in settings.json or the in VS Code settings UI, then use code <file>.
Many things can be found in open --help
A work around that worked for me on MacOS is:
open -a 'Visual Studio Code.app' something.php
in the version 1.31.0 that I have installed, on Windows 7, the only way I found to do this is to e.g. change the file associations in system so that .cproj and .cs files are opened by Visual Studio Code by default, and type "filename.cs" in Terminal to open file by that name in the same window... -r option is not working for the first call (opens a new window), but with each subsequent call that same window is correctly reused. ok can't get to open whole directories this way - it's a bit shoddy anyway. probably it would be more convenient to use an outside shell and work with "-r" option
VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022) comes with a new command:
Keyboard Navigable Links
Previously, link navigation in the terminal required the use of a mouse.
Now, links can be opened using only the keyboard via the following commands:
Terminal: Open Detected Link... to view all links (web, file, word)
Terminal: Open Last Web Link... ex: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
Terminal: Open Last File Link... ex: /Users/user/repo/file.txt
Check if the last command Terminal: Open Last File Link... would help in your case.
