Thank you for this extension! It was easy to make a custom regex mapper for navigating files with lots of markdown-formatted comments.

Unfortunately, I had to download and install it manually because it is only published on Microsoft's proprietary Marketplace. The problem is that non-Microsoft builds of vscode are not allowed to use Marketplace per its terms of use. See: microsoft/vscode#31168

I personally use Arch Linux's code package, but there are more popular projects like vscodium, theia, gitpod, and others. The solution these projects use is the Open VSX Registry, an Eclipse Foundation project to provide a vendor-neutral extension repository for vscode-compatible editors.

There is documentation for publishing an extension available. If you're really opposed to that, it's possible to have openvsx auto-publish if the extension is added to their list. But then that list has to be maintained independently of the extension project and is not ideal, so proper publishing is preferred.

Thanks for supporting FLOSS!
