Support of VSCodium instead of VSCode? #1296

Open

Description

@joeheaven

Hi,

it's quite easy to get VSCode running with the instructions on the Wiki.

I was wondering if it would be feasable also to support VSCodium? I guess one might "just" have to provide a VSCodium.exe in the main directory that launches vscodium.exe in <WinPythonInsFolder>/t/VSCodium?

I think it would be fantastic to have the coice.

    What was a legitimate ask 10 years ago is now feeling like a risk.

    But you can easily change the .bat script in scripts/ directory that call vscode, on your pc

    Any chance to reconsider it?
    Especially since there is no out of the box way to create user defined launchers.

    Being able to use Windows and up-to-date and escaping Microsoft eyes-dropping ... is not a goal even state-funded organizations can achieve: hubris.

    That said, WinPython is now buildable on the cloud, on local, ... so any people with a particular need in universities can tweak it
