How to open single JSON file not in LightMode Follow
Up until recently, if I had a project open, and went to open a JSON file that was outside the project, it would open in the instance of WebStorm already open. Now, it opens in LightMode. Is there a way or some setting I can set to fix that? I'm using WebStorm 2022.1 and Windows 11.

how do you open your JSON - from the command line or from within the IDE? Could you share a screen recording of the issue?
I typically just double click the file from File Explorer.
Do you mean windows Explorer? Do you have *.json extension associated with WebStorm?
Yes, I do.
open Help > Find Action, type "Registry..." and open it. Then find
light.edit.file.open.enabled
key there and disable it - does it help?Negative. Still opened in LightMode.
