WSL support

WSL support init

peektea works on Windows Subsystem for Linux out of the box. It detects WSL automatically and routes file opens through:

  1. wslview (from wslu), if available
  2. explorer.exe, otherwise

Linux paths are converted to Windows paths via wslpath so Windows apps can read them directly.

WSL demo

Setup on WSL

peektea init on WSL skips the Linux GUI app categories — there's no point offering nautilus or feh when you're routing through Windows — and sets the Windows opener as the fallback instead. See Configuration for the full setup walkthrough.
