FME Desktop is assigned as Default App for .json
Windows Terminal should force open ...AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json in a text editor or open it in a terminal tab

If your JSON editor is something you don’t want opening when you open a JSON file, you should fix that. Terminal will fall back to a text editor (notepad!) if there is no file association. This is a system configuration issue 😄

If terminal forced users into a specific editor, our users would shout at us.
