`vscode-fhs` starts with wmclass set as `code-url-handler`

[ahydronous]

Describe the bug

VSCode starts with its wmclass set wrong, which causes various bugs like being unable to be pinned to the dash, and opening new windows under a separate icon instead of under its "main" icon.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open VSCode
2. Try to pin it
3. Open a window

Expected behavior

VSCode should be able to be pinned, and windows should nest under the icon properly.

Additional context

See: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/1414 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/129953 for the same issue. I am assuming this also affects the vscode, vscodium and vscodium-fhs NixOS packages.

The Microsoft issue contains references to workarounds/fixes/patches.

normal vscode package does that too.
on kde, you can override the desktop file with a window rule to make it group with the pinned icon properly.

@griffi-gh can you please elaborate on how to do that?

@onnyyonn Create a window rule like this Set desktop file name to vscode's .../share/applications/code.desktop (in my case, /etc/profiles/per-user/user/share/applications/code.desktop)

or, with plasma-manager:

    {
      description = "vscode-desktop-file";
      match.window-class = "code code-url-handler";
      apply.desktopfile = "/etc/profiles/per-user/user/share/applications/code.desktop";
    }

you may want to use actually specify path to the vscode package instead of hard-coding it tho!

This should be fixed in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/231472. I believe version 1.95.0 includes this fix. Vscodium has only been updated two days ago and should be available in the cache in the following days. Please reopen if this is still a problem.
