I was wondering why Juno can directly find my installed Julia both in Windows and Linux, but the VSCode Julia extension needs manual input of path of Julia. Is it possible for VSCode to link to Julia automatically? I guess this feature may make the first step easier since so many people are using VSCode.

We are trying to find the exe automatically [here](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vscode/blob/master/src/juliaexepath.ts). If we don’t, that looks like a bug to me.
