rofi-vscode-mode's Issues

Awesome!

Absolutely awesome program! :o) Hat tip!!

So i was thinking this is great for getting the vscode windows open. However, i was thinking it be made even better for when the user uses a dedicated terminal to test the program vs using the inbuilt vscode term.

When I code terraform, I can end up with 4-5 vscode instances open - all instantiated from different directories. Thus I have a split pane terminator with x4 terminals that are linked to each open vscode instance. My normal workflow is to cd to the directory from the terminal, then launch vscode using code ..

Obviously your app is much faster at opening the vscode window, but then I still need to type in a cd command to go to the matching folder. As a possible solution, would it be possible to get rofi-vscode-mode to copy the workspace path into the copy buffer, so i could then paste to cd in the terminal?

Maybe you have a better idea as to how to improve this workflow? Anyways, look forward to your reply. :)

Use VSCode's URL handler

At the moment we only support opening local paths.

Actually, it seems that there are ways to open files, folders and remotes URIs directly from the CLI.

See microsoft/vscode-remote-release#656 (comment) for reference.
