I cannot open any other text editor aside from the internal vivado text editor. I want to use Vscode / Neovim as the external editor.

is this community relevant? maybe try posting there?
https://support.xilinx.com/s/topiccatal … uage=en_US

or if vivado is a program that you first run and then try to open a text editor from vivado, maybe try running vivado from a terminal and look for any clues/errors in the output when vivado starts or when you try to open the text editor?

I have posted it here because I don't have the same problem on Ubuntu. So maybe it's a distro related problem.

I have referred the ArchWiki. It says nothing about the problem I'm facing.

How are you starting bspwm? If via xinitrc, make sure you include the proper imports so that you get a DBUS session, so that things like "default file manager" can be queried: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc note the blue boxes
