Thanks for sharing this, looking into it now

I'm wondering if there's any part of the setup I'm missing. Here's what I'm trying so far, but unfortunately haven't reproduced:

• Using VS Code on Windows WSL
• In WSL, use touch \${{\ values.name\ }}\\index.ts to create the file with everything escaped properly
• Type something in the file in VS Code
• Save the file
• Highlight the code, ctrl+shift+m, the request an edit

I also tried a folder "${{ values.name }}" with a file called "index.ts" instead of a file literally named "${{ values.name }}\index.ts"

Hmm, to be more precise here is the exact folder structure for the index.ts

skeleton/packages/${{ values.name }}/src/index.ts

I tried in native windows, it works fine there with the same folder structure. Did you install VScode inside WSL or are you connecting to a windows/vscode via the WSL extension like i do ?
