Recently, after updating to Julia 1.10, the Connect to External REPL functionality with VS code is no longer working. I’m following the same steps, where I paste the auto-copied command into an external REPL, and VS Code gives confirmation that it has been successfully connected.

However, sending code snippets to the REPL via shift+enter opens a new REPL session inside VS code.

Has anyone experienced this and found a fix? thanks!
