Description

so we can now use vscode for coding oF. AMAZING.
but it would be nice if we could have an option button to open the editor that we have generated the project for.
so we have the open in IDE option, but that does open for the text editor we have chos-en instead. such as vscode.

just would be nice to have a button that does that, rather than to then go to the project to then select the workspace file to open vscode ☺️

thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the existing “open in IDE” handling and the project-generation path for VSCode. Determine how the generated workspace file is identified; done means providing an option that opens the generated project in VSCode rather than only the configured text editor.
