Copilot chat does not seem to work on VSCodium

Hi, it seems like the Copilot Chat extension is not working on VSCodium out of the box.

This is unfortunate, since it is a paid service and there definitely is demand as far as I can tell from forum posts, etc.
Is the team working on this or do I just have to look for another service?

Thanks!

This is terrible news. I was trying to use copilot on my machine with the VSCodium and I got an error message when trying to download the plugin that it only works with Visual Studio Code. I guess Micro$oft only wants the plugin to work with their IDE for tracking purposes. Bummer.

I noticed this as well, but the extension installed just fine. When I open the chat, I notice that there is no prompt, and I cannot send messages. I'm happy to have the suggestions working, but I'd also like to have the chat available for my monthly payment.

I am using VSCodium, having migrated from Sublime Text which had a sub-optimal implementation of Copilot. Hopefully there is some support for the chat coming on VSCodium, since I run Linux and I'm not interested in having Microsoft products (VSCode) on my laptop :)

I get the same error even on 1.95.3. sad
