dsh-open-in-app

You are mid-conversation in the dsh web UI and suddenly need to jump into your local terminal or IDE to keep typing. Dragging windows around, hunting for the right folder, re-typing a path—these small frictions are where momentum goes to die. dsh-open-in-app collapses all of that into a single click in the top-right corner of the chat window.

The plugin adds a capsule-style split control right beside the Session log button. The folder half opens the current workspace with whatever app you last selected for that directory (remembered per cwd in localStorage). The arrow half opens a menu showing recently used apps, the system default folder handler (Finder on macOS, Explorer on Windows, xdg-mime default on Linux), and a curated whitelist of terminals (iTerm2, Warp, Alacritty, Windows Terminal, and more) plus editors and IDEs (VS Code, Cursor, Zed, the full JetBrains family, Xcode, and others), every entry rendered with its real application icon. All three major platforms get native app discovery, icon extraction, and open-command handling out of the box.

If you think in the browser but type in your IDE, this plugin is the smoothest bridge between the two—no more breaking stride mid-thread to re-navigate your file system. One click and you are there.
