Show User How to Add Unsupported Languages in VS Code
User problem to solve
We currently use an allowlist in the language server to dictate which languages are enabled by default for Code Suggestions in VS Code. Users know when a language is not supported by the UI indicator at the bottom of the IDE. We show the disabled Duo icon with the hover text "Code Suggestions are not supported for this language."
While we have a feature that allows users to add languages that are not enabled by default, we lack a user-friendly way to guide them to the documentation that explains how to enable code suggestions for unsupported languages.
Proposal
Add a link to our GitLab docs so that users know what to do when they encounter an unsupported language.
