# Gnome search provider for VSCode workspaces

**I no longer use or maintain this code.**

Add recent workspaces of various VSCode variants to Gnome search.

![](./screenshot.png)

Supports

- Code OSS (Arch Linux)

- VSCodium

- Visual Studio Code (AUR package)

- Visual Studio Code ([Official packages](https://code.visualstudio.com/download))

Under the hood this is a small systemd user service which implements the [search provider][1] DBus API and exposes recent workspaces from VSCode.

## Installation

### Packages & binaries

I provide binary packages for Archlinux at [home:swsnr:owned](https://build.opensuse.org/repositories/home:swsnr:owned).

### From source

Install [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) then run

```console

$ make build

$ sudo make install

```

This install to `/usr/local/`.

**Note:** You really do need to install as `root`, system-wide.

A per-user installation to `$HOME` does not work as of Gnome 40, because Gnome shell doesn't load search providers from `$HOME` (see ).
