I use this on my work Mac:

nnoremap <leader>vs :silent exec "!open vscodium://file/" . expand("%:p") . ":" . line(".") . ":" . col(".")<cr>:redraw!<cr>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That'll open VSCodium to the same line and column the cursor is on in Vim. I do that to make use of the former's debugger, which I find a lot easier to use than Vdebug.

I don't use VSCode on my personal machine, but if I did, I'd change open to gnome-open.
