Hello again.
I use Linux Mint 19.3. I want to use VS Code as the external editor for Godot. The problem is, neither the path to VS Code (/usr/bin/code) nor the command code work. Someone help.

Update: This is just an error with the flatpak version. Godot from the website works fine.

Thanks for this!

As it turns out, external editors are supported using the Flatpak version. You just need to use the flatpack-spawn command instead of directly launching code.
