CCS: Open Declaration or Control+Click is opening an external text editor

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

How do I stop this from happening?

I checked in the File Associations preferences, and the external editor in question (Notepad++) is not listed anywhere.

  • Hello,
    In the past, have you opened a source file from the Project Explorer using an external editor (right-click -> Open With...)?

  • In the project explorer, 'Open With' is not even an option from the right-click menu.

    In the Windows system file explorer, I have in the past used the 'Open With' to open source files using other editors.

    Can you try using a new workspace just to see if that one behaves as expected?

    Thanks
