Change default editor for .cpp files
By John Campbell •
When I double click .cpp files I expect gedit to open it, instead RStudio opens it. How to set gedit as the default editor for .cpp files?

In my Ubuntu 14.04, all you need to do is, as above, right-click, open with, other application..., and just select the program. If the program is not listed, press the button labeled "Show other applications" and choose from there.
Right click on a .cpp file and go to properties. In "Open With" tab select gedit from the list and below the list select "set as default".
