Make --open work in chromeOS

[JamesGreenaway]

sshcode has the functionality to open up code-server in my browser window. I think this is done using the command www-browser --client --url http://www.google.com for example, is it possible to have this feature in code-server?

I think you're missing the point. The point of code-server is to be a server (running all the time), while sshcode is a code-server CLI to open it in a browser window, so I really see no point in doing this.

I see your point however, for my use case, code-server act as a convenient way of running VSCode locally on a Chromebook without having to use the Linux app architecture. With this workflow I have no need for sshcode, however I noticed that it was able to open Chrome in my browser from the crostini terminal. This was a nice touch, however if it is too much to ask then its not a problem.

@kylecarbs can you test it?

This is still an issue, but seems to be really low prio. Will definitely re-open if many requests come in!
