I am using WSL, specifically the WLinux Distro. I have installed everything. NodeJS, Git, zsh, oh-my-zsh, even solved my problem with the SSH Keys somehow.
But, now when I move to the desired directory in WSL and execute Code ., VSCode opens, but in the entirely wrong place. I see my System32 files open in VSCode, and I cannot navigate with the integrated terminal. I have these settings.
{
"terminal.external.windowsExec": "C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe"
}
With the above settings, I can see zsh, activated in the Integrated terminal, but open in system32. I need this opened in my working file.
The Question:
Please, can you tell me how to make, 1) VSCode to open by typing Code ., in WSL terminal, and how to set the integrated terminal to be the same as WSL. Also, if you could explain to me why it would be great. I am losing this WSL System at some point. Thanks
In WSL Terminal if I do regular code . without Capital it spits out this.
projectName git:(master) code . zsh: no such file or directory: /mnt/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe ```
Git seems to work in WSL Terminal since I can do `glog`.

I even tried something as simple as that,"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "wsl.exe", and still doesn't work. It still open up in System32.. I have read various answers, but nothing works. And the more engineered ones, I don't understand.

Also, another thing. If I do Code filename, inside my project it justs opens it as blank. And the terminal is unusable until I close VSCode.

For Zsh and working, do not call wsl.exe but the distrib. I use Ubuntu 1804 and my settings are :
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "ubuntu1804.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["run"],
The shell is in the windows path, so write the fullpath is useless.
