Feature Request: Add VS Codium to “Hand off to IDE” options

[alex-vertrauensfunnel]

What problem are you trying to solve?

The “Hand off to IDE” feature already supports VS Code and several other IDEs and CLI tools. However, VS Codium is currently missing.

VS Codium is the fully open source build of VS Code, without Microsoft branding, telemetry and tracking. Many developers who care about open source and privacy prefer VS Codium over VS Code for exactly that reason.

Since Open Design is itself an open source project, supporting VS Codium would fit very well with the spirit of the platform. Right now, users who prefer a telemetry-free open source IDE do not have a direct handoff option.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add VS Codium as an additional option in the “Hand off to IDE” menu, next to VS Code.

The behavior could be similar to the existing VS Code handoff, but using VS Codium’s executable or URI handling where applicable.

Hey @alex-vertrauensfunnel — thanks for circling back on this, and for spelling out the VS Codium gap in the “Hand off to IDE” menu so clearly.

The open-source / privacy angle still makes sense here, so I've flagged this for product-direction review and cleared the stale marker so it doesn't get treated as abandoned. This thread was auto-closed by the stale workflow, so a maintainer may need to reopen it as that review happens, but the request is back in front of us now.

We usually try to get an initial product call on feature requests like this within about 12 hours.

Hey @lefarcen Thank you! Really happy to hear all that.
