How to enable new notebook editor in VS Code

Viewed 358

Looking at a jupyter notebook in VS Code at the moment I see this banner at the top of the screen. bannerscreenshot It reads "This editor is deprecated and we'll remove it after 1.59 of VS Code. Learn more about our new notebook editor." The link explains that the new notebook editor feature has been disabled and made opt-in rather than forcing on all users. However no instructions are given on how to opt-in and use the new editor. I'd like to start using the new notebook editor, how to I switch it on?

I was able to switch to the new editor by right clicking on an .ipynb file and selecting "Open With...".

You should then be able select the option "Configure default editor for '*.ipynb'..." from the drop down selection in command palette.

If you right click the notebook in the explorer panel like @Ben B says, you should have an option in the menu at the bottom that says "Open in Notebook Editor"

Well this problem has been resolved in latest version of VS Code. It just upgraded me automatically. I'm now on Version: 1.60.1 @SO folks, what is the protocol here? I'd like to give @Ben some credit for helping here but really the answer here is now "upgrade to latest version VS Code"
