    Can you open them with other text editors like vim, nano or notepad++ etc? – Javad Apr 23 '22 at 08:49
  • the answer depends on your OS. I think the association between the py files and VS Code is gone. Google for `ENTER_YOUR_OS_HERE set default file association` – Edo Akse Apr 23 '22 at 14:45
  • Please [edit] to provide more details. What is your OS? What version of VS Code are you using? What exactly are the type of files you are opening, .py files? How are you opening the file, by double-clicking or by opening VS Code and then selecting File > Open? What exact error messages do you get or see on VS Code? – Gino Mempin Apr 25 '22 at 03:41

Many times, when we use vscode to open files sent by others or modify configuration files, we will find that files cannot be modified.

In fact, it is not that the file cannot be modified, but vscode editing adopts a mode similar to VIM editor. It can be modified only by typing "i" (insert). After modification, you cannot save it by typing "Command + s" (MacOS) or "control + s" (Windows). You need to type "ESC" and then "WQ + enter" to save.

  • Isn't this because you have [VIM for VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevim.vim)? – Gino Mempin Apr 25 '22 at 03:30
