@jpanuncialman I utilized everything on @BergWerkGIS' and then the following Medium post helped me out with Xming. |

It's now possible to launch Windows executables (like Sublime Text) from the Bash on Ubuntu command line - at least, on the Insider Preview (slow ring) version of Windows that I'm using (OS Build 14986.1001). It's fairly easy to sign up for the Insider Preview, and I've had no problems since switching (with either Bash on Ubuntu or Windows generally).You should also be able to set an alias to use it from the command line (as you were trying to do).
Note the second set of quotes: this is necessary because of the spaces in the file path. |

@HassanAkbar Thanks for you suggestion to launch windows exe directly. Worked perfectly for me. Also, you can avoid using double quotes by escaping the spaces with backslashes...

Hi thanks for this nice little tutorial on how to setup sublime text to work for those using the Ubuntu Distro on Windows. I was wondering if anyone is getting an error where when they execute the 'subl fileName.txt' that the file will be opened in Sublime Text but blank with all the original content not there? |

Hi.. I also are able to run 'subl fileName.txt' but the file is blank .. as Matt45D. Any idea ? |
commented Feb 13, 2019
Same as Matt45D & tali1974 ... Seems the subl.exe executable doesn't accept parameters? |
