Provide a way to launch VSCode from Kit

[mati-nvidia]

I can help with this one.

If we launch VSCode as a subprocess from Kit, we can pass the PYTHONPATH environment variable so that autocomplete and syntax highlighting will work.

HI @mati-nvidia

Great, all contributions are more than welcome :)

What would be the implementation, launch VS Code by clicking the Window > VSCode embedded menu?

[mati-nvidia]

That could work. I know you have the option to show viewport notification attached to that, so maybe it could be:

Window > Embedded VS Code > Launch VS Code (not toggle-able)
Window > Embedded VS Code > Show Notifications (toggle-able)

It sounds great... Are you going for it?

[mati-nvidia]

Yes. Just need to find some time. :)

Hello @mati-nvidia, @Toni-SM

Is there any update on this? Having this added would be a great addition to the extension.
As of this post I believe the only way to get syntax support would be to create a "New Extension Template Project" under Extensions.

Hi @InfraredLaser

Unfortunately I do not have the time at the moment to implement that feature.
You can go for it and contribute :)
