    Function openExternal

    • Opens a link externally using the default application. Depending on the used scheme this can be:

      • a browser (http:, https:)
      • a mail client (mailto:)
      • VSCode itself (vscode: from vscode.env.uriScheme)

      Note that showTextDocument is the right way to open a text document inside the editor, not this function.

      Parameters

      • target: Uri

        The uri that should be opened.

      Returns Thenable<boolean>

      A promise indicating if open was successful.
