Alternative to basic text editors in ubuntu wsl
Currently I have a ubuntu terminal that I downloaded from the MS store. I would like to be able to edit code without using nano/vim/emacs. Is this possible? Can I use an external editor like visual studio or something of the like?

I added a WSL tag to your question. If indeed you are using Ubuntu via WSL, please edit your question's title to make that clear.

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

https://www.cs.odu.edu/~zeil/FAQs/Public/win10Bash/#installing-eclipse
For Netbeans

Otherwise, this may be helpful
