Selecting code editor on Unity 2020.3 in Ubuntu Linux

Above.

At the moment I’m writing code in Visual Studio code, and as evident from a topic on here towards the end of last week, I’m writing the code out wrong with typos and syntax errors.

Anyway, would there be a way to associate VS Code with Unity as the default editor in Unity 2020.3 under Ubuntu, a supported Linux distro?

In Unity, Click Edit/Preferences/External Tools. Next to External Script Editor, Drop down the selection box, Click Browse, then browse to the .exe you use to run Visual Studio Code.

if Visual Studio Code shows up in the drop down, just select and skip the browse part.

This is what shows up in my edit/preferences page.

No option to set the script editor :frowning:

Did you try scrolling the window upward, there appears to be more options at the top.

@RichAllen2023 Please keep in mind that this association won’t help with the typos you experienced in the other thread.

I’ll try and sort that this week.
