Changing the editor used when opening files from Unity

Change the editor used to open files via "Edit Script" to VSCode.
Open the Preferences window from [Unity] > [Settings...] and select the editor to use in "External Script Editor" under "External Tools".

By default, it is set to "Visual Studio for Mac", so change it to VSCode.

Solution for when the dotnet: command not found .NET Core error occurs when opening C# files in VSCode:
