You are asking about code editors under Ubuntu/WSL.
You may want text apps or graphical apps.
And you need to specify the language your code uses.
If Eclipse works for you, this may be useful

WSL-OPEN FOR THE WIN!!

in WSL, set your default editor to WSL-OPEN:
export EDITOR=wsl-open
This will automatically translate the file to your default windows app for the associated EXT.
