if you press alt-e in a wrangler, it'll pop up a text editor. I figured i'd tell it to use sublimeText by adding a VISUAL="C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe" in my houdini.env, but i now want to take that back because sublimetext doesn't have error checking.

The only problem is I can't figure out how to do that. I removed the VISUAL line I added in my houdini.env and restarted and now it just loads NOTEPAD if i press alt-e and that's not what i want. I want houdini's text editor, obviously.

Anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks in advance!

i ended up getting the default text editor back by just deleting all my houdini preferences. And ironically, their own popup text editor doesn't even have the feature i wanted : the error checking that their non popup text editor has... hah. sigh.
