Support for Cursor IDE (VS Codium)

[sam-goodwin]

I'd love to use Coder with Cursor instead of vanilla VS Code.

I think Cursor is built on https://vscodium.com/

What isn't working? I believe our extension works with Cursor.

[sam-goodwin]

As far as I can tell, there's no way to install the extension in Cursor. Unless I'm totally missing something.

Will publishing the coder remote extension to Open VSX registry help solve this problem?

[kylecarbs]

It should!

[matifali]

coder.remote extension depends on MS remote extension that's also not available in the OpenVSX registry. Filed coder/vscode-coder#269 to track what we can do about this.

I see that Coder is in the marketplace but am getting the following error:

Cannot activate the 'Coder' extension because it depends on an unknown 'ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh' extension.

Relevant discussion: VSCodium/vscodium#693

I think coder needs to be updated to use: https://open-vsx.org/extension/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh

[kylecarbs]

I guess we need to adjust our build to create two releases? One that depends on VS Code Remote SSH and another that depends on Open Remote SSH?

[matifali]

@kylecarbs Can we fallback on one-remote-ssh?

The Coder extension works fine with Cursor out of the box. We'll make a module/guide for it soon.

[matifali]

Yes, recent testing shows that it works without any modifications, and our vscode desktop module can work as it is if we replace vscode with cursor in URI.

Question: Should we create a new module or add support for the cursor in the vscode-desktop module?

Closed in #290
