Set the editor to use by default in VSCode (text or visual)

[NRomainScelle]

Description

Very simple request, but this has been driving me mad for the last hour: I use Quarto frequently across many projects, and most of the time upon opening files (VSCode+Quarto extension), I get the text editor without a prompt, which is what I desire.

Now working on another project (which is a book if this is relevant somehow), and I have dealt with the prompt asking if I wanted the Visual Editor (no) each time I open a chapter. Now, for some reason it seems the Visual Editor is the default, I believe after trying to set a workbench.editorAssociations rule ("*.qmd:default") and remove it.

How do I set VSCode behavior so that I never have to see the Visual Editor again ?

This is VSCode 1.99.3 on Win11, with Quarto 1.5.54 and Quarto Extension 1.123.0

Thanks for the help

Set editor: source in your document YAML header or _quarto.yml.

Note that the default is the source mode. If you are prompted, it means you have something that says otherwise then I suggest you look for editor: visual

This was it. Thanks !

For completeness, there is also a one-time prompt: "You are activating Quarto visual markdown editing mode."
But once acknowledged, it's no longer displayed unless on a new machine or that you reset your user-preferences.
This one-time prompt is never displayed when the following environment variables are set: CI, PW_TEST, QUARTO_VISUAL_EDITOR_CONFIRMED.
