Neither selecting "Preferences" from the Edit menu nor pressing "Ctrl-," gives anything like a preferences window or dialog. Just nothing happens.

Clicking "Preferences" opens your ~/.hyper.js file with the default app. You have to tell Windows to use your editor to open .js files, otherwise it won't work :)

For Windows, it should probably try and launch using notepad.exe as a fallback. Not sure if there is a way to detect if another program has claimed the .js type though.

@NomNuggetNom I've tried my best to do this already, but apparently my solution is not bulletproof:
