Gnome search provider for VSCode workspaces

Add recent workspaces of various VSCode variants to Gnome search.

• Code OSS (Arch Linux)
• VSCodium
• Office Visual Studio Code packages
• Visual Studio Code Insiders

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

Installation

Packages & binaries

I provide a binary package at home:swsnr.

From source

Install rust and just then run

$ cargo build --release
$ sudo just 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 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3060).
