Description
When running a regular VS Code instance, I can hit the Tab key in the ChatGPT app to allow it to access VS Code's open tabs and attach the focused one to my chat context. It's an awesome feature of that app and I use it all the time to supercharge my dev workflow.
When running in a dev container though, the connection between the two apps fails and no reason why is given. I'm not sure if this is their fault or yours, but I'm assuming it's yours since a regular VS Code instance works fine.
If you guys could look into this and tell me why the failure occurs, I'd really appreciate it! Even better, patch the extension so that everything works the way the ChatGPT devs intended (if that's possible).
If you need any further diagnostic info about my system, please don't hesitate to ask. But as a bare minimum:
OS: macOS Sequoia 15.6.1.
VS Code version: 1.104.2.
ChatGPT app version: 1.2025.260 (1758588131)
MTIA for any replies! 😁
