Remarks

The lse command opens an editor for the current source file. This command is equivalent to clicking Edit this file in the shortcut menu of the Source window in WinDbg.

The editor is opened on the computer that the target is running on, so you cannot use the lse command from a remote client.

The WinDiff editor registry information or the value of the WINDBG_INVOKE_EDITOR environment variable determine which editor is opened. For example, consider the following value of WINDBG_INVOKE_EDITOR.

c:\my\path\myeditor.exe -file %f -line %l

This value indicates that Myeditor.exe opens to the one-based line number of the current source file. The %l option indicates that line numbers should be read as one-based, and %f indicates that the current source file should be used. You could also include %L to indicate that line numbers are zero-based or %p to indicate that the current source file should be used.
