WSL drive button in TC

[sergiokapone]

In order to access the WSL file subsystem, you have to type \\wsl$ in TC. Is it possible to make a separate button for this. In the explorer I see it as a Linux drive.

Maybe you can map \\wsl$ as a Network drive (Menu -> "Net" -> "Network connections") ?

Have you tried a button with command:
cd \\wsl$

[sergiokapone]

I can, of course, create a button and just enter it manually, but using the WSL button as a native interface element would be logical.

By the way, that trick doesn't work.

Too bad. Can you share \\wsl$ - then it might be possible to map it to a drive letter

Can you share \\wsl$

No, I was not able to somehow share it.

It's more a question of consistency between what explorer and TC shows. Intuitively, you expect that what is in explorer will also be in TC and even more.

Since it is a part of Windows, that is fair to expect.
