Turning off the Data Explorer

[boshek]

Hi there,

I think that the Data Explorer is a valuable feature and many users will find great value out of it. Well done on developing it. I do find, however, for my purposes that I more frequently want access to the file directly (particularly for text based data formats). Is there a way to turn off the Data Explorer by default (ideally just for a particular file format) so that I don't have to always right-click and open as text?

Thanks for all your work on positron. It is a joy to use.

Thank you for the kind words! 🙌 Have you looked into customizing workbench.editorAssociations to get the behavior you want?

For example, if I set this in settings.json:

    "workbench.editorAssociations": {
        "*.csv": "default"
    }

Then it will open up CSVs in the default editor (just plain text) instead of the Data Explorer.

Oh that's it! Thanks!
