Convert WSL Paths for Hyper

Caution: This is pretty new 😬

If you're using Windows Subsystem for Linux and like pasting Windows paths or dragging and dropping files into Hyper, this plugin is for you!

Install

This plugin is only for Windows.

Open up a PowerShell window and run:

hyper install hyper-convert-wsl-paths

Features

• Converts Windows paths to WSL paths
  • e.g., C:\boo\urns.txt => /c/boo/urns.txt
• Converts Windows shortcuts to the original paths
  • e.g., C:\Users\me\app.lnk => '/c/Program Data/App.exe'

Customization

At the moment there is a single option under convertWslPaths.skiplinkResolution:

module.exports = {
    config: {
        convertWslPaths: {
            // Skip resolving *.lnk to the target file
            skipLinkResolution: true
        }
    }
}

Testing

1. yarn install
2. yarn test

There are two environment variables that are customizable:

• WSL_ROOT - Defaults to an empty string (corresponding to /), but will be /mnt if you haven't set the root in /etc/wsl.conf
• WINDOWS_ROOT - Defaults to C:, but should be set to wherever an accessible drive is if not C:\
