How to open .xlsx files in MS Excel from VS Code?


Is there a way to open certain files like xlsx/docx in external apps (preferably system defaults) from VS Code Explorer instead of just opening another tab in VS Code?

I want to be able to open xlsx/docx etc. in MS Office Apps by double clicking from the explorer, if that's possible at all.


Solution

  • After installing the extension called open, you can open ms files by default app with right click. (But it does not work in WSL)
