When it finds no editor

  • It finds each editor by its command: code, cursor or windsurf.
  • The answer lists the editors in installed, and the editors where the installation failed in failed.
  • When it installs the extension in no editor, it marks the step skipped.
  • VS Code installs kater.kater from the Visual Studio Marketplace, and Cursor and Windsurf install it from Open VSX.
