Description
Validations
- I believe this is a way to improve. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
- I'm not able to find an open issue that requests the same enhancement
Problem
VS Code has the ability enable/disable plugins per workspace, but jetbrains doesn't. Some projects can't have telemetry/AI used on them in various ways, some can.
Solution
Add an "Experimental workspace paths" IDE setting specific to Jetbrains (in the Jetbrains tools -> continue settings), a comma-separated list of strings and if the setting is present and the current project isn't found it just shuts down core on startup and maybe shows a big "Not enabled in this workspace" on GUI
See "osrEnabled" message for a similar jetbrains-specific IDE settings, should just work on the same vertical
