Confirming the issue:

1. Shift+Alt+U doesn't do anything.
2. How to Configure Shows Error spawn EACCES

OS: Ubuntu 16.10 VS Code version: 1.12.2

Does setting chmod +x /home/lekhnath/.vscode/extensions/Shan.code-settings-sync-2.8.0/node_modules/opn/xdg-open work ?
Let me know, i will release a build this week to solve this.

@shanalikhan Yes! running the command you provided eliminated that error.

[elboletaire]

Uploading throws the Error span EACCESS error, but setting xdg-open as executable fixes it.

[shanalikhan]

Its fixed in v2.8.1
Let me know if there is still a problem

I installed this extension today (2.8.2, vscode 1.13.1, Linux) and have the same problem.
Making ~/.vscode/extensions/Shan.code-settings-sync-2.8.2/node_modules/opn/xdg-open executable works.

this bug still exists in v2.8.2, Ubuntu 16.04.
But running
chmod +x /home/<desktop-username>/.vscode/extensions/<settings-sync-folder-name>/node_modules/opn/xdg-open
as mentioned by @shanalikhan solves the issue. Thanks

This bug still exists in v2.8.2, openSUSE Tumbleweed. But, making the xdg-open file executable solves the problem. Thanks!

After setting that file to executable the "How to configure" page now opens but shift + alt + u still doesn't work

Edit: I'm mistaken, it does work!

[kemelzaidan]

I believe this bug is still valid in 2.8.2.
