Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. E.g. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Currently one has to copy text/code/whatever from VSCode to CyberChef, select the recipe one wants, run it and copy it back - it isn't that cumbersome unless you have to do it many times
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
The solution sounds simple, a extension for VSCode so one can run CyberChef inside VSCode, preferably just by:
1. Selecting Text
2. Selecting recipe to run
3. Replace selected text with result of recipe
Also include CyberChef itself for easy Recipe creation/editing and manually methods - why? As you won't have to switch then.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Also quickly looked at creating extensions myself, but sadly due busy schedule didn't really have the time for it

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by scoping how CyberChef could run inside VSCode, including recipe selection, selected-text replacement, and in-editor recipe editing. Done would require an agreed implementation scope and a working extension covering the requested workflow.
