Description

vscode (using the julia extension) does not startup with a shell, so it doesn't have access to pygmentize. that makes sense

im wondering if there is a way to use the syntax highlighting that vscode does to still make [s] work when using vscode, and how one might do it

this package is seriously a lifesaver, thank you!

Research direction

The issue names pygmentize, the [s] command, VS Code, and the Julia extension; begin by tracing how [s] currently obtains syntax highlighting and whether the extension exposes a reusable path. Done means defining a supported VS Code behavior and verifying that [s] works without a shell-provided pygmentize.
