Feature Request: Add Native JetBrains IDE Support to Gemini CLI
By

Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
The article discusses a feature request to add native recognition for JetBrains IDEs in Gemini CLI. Currently, Gemini CLI only supports IDE integration features for environments where TERM_PROGRAM is set to 'vscode' or other hardcoded values, forcing third-party integrations like jetbrains-ide-companion to mock VS Code by spoofing environment variables. Users have reported that process detection is not working properly on Windows/Linux, and the request seeks to enable native JetBrains IDE support to avoid workarounds.
