How to change the default text editing app in Quick Look? [duplicate]
Extension-less files are tricky ones for OS to figure out if it is an executable or a text file. I have two README files, one of which is unix executable for some reason and I get a warning if I open it. Another is text file but still recognised as public.data
as opposed to public.plain-text
.
mdls path/to/file
gives you its kMDItemContentType
. public.data
files' QuickLook are generated by
/Users/me/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator
Run qlmanage -m
to get a list.
Unless you can find a QuickLook generator by VSCode, which can preview public.data
files, you don't have much to do.
I haven't used it, but this seems promising: https://github.com/whomwah/qlstephen
OP's response
This worked: duti -s com.microsoft.VSCode public.data all
- Replace Text Edit as the default text editor
