5 months ago Hi @roxane-data, thank you for opening this issue. I discussed this with the team and unfortunately this is not something we plan to support at the moment, since this means we would need to be prepared to support users from all derivative IDEs. Note that we are currently moving fast and making various integrations; as a result we cannot make such guarantees. For a similar answer please see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/17173#issuecomment-956875871.
If anything changes, I will reopen this issue and let you know. Thank you!

Dear extension author, Please publish this extension to the Open VSX marketplace.
Context
Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of
.vsixfiles from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in Open VSX and publish this extension on Open VSX.What is Open VSX? Why does it exist?
Open VSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like VSCodium, Gitpod, OpenVSCode, Theia-based IDEs, and so on.
You can read on about Open VSX at the Eclipse Foundation's Open VSX FAQ.
How can you publish to Open VSX?
The docs to publish an extension can be found here. This process is straightforward and shouldn't take too long. Essentially, you need an authentication token and to execute the
ovsx publishcommand to publish your extension. There's also a doc explaining the whole process with an example GitHub Action workflow.
