Webots VSCode extension for running and interfacing robot controller code remotely from WSL to Webots GUI in Windows 10.

Hi!

I wonder if it would be possible to create a VSCode extension which lets you program an extern controller in WSL and then connect remotely to a Webots world/simulation GUI running on Windows 10 on the same computer? :) The extension would also provide you with the start, stop, reset buttons directly in VSCode on the WSL side :)

I really love programming in VSCode and having the Linux libraries available to me in WSL. However when I run the code in WSL I would like to see the visualisation in the Webots GUI on the windows side :) and be able to run, stop, reset without ever having to leave my VSCode in WSL :)

Settings on where to find/connect to the Webots GUI on the windows side could be supplied through VSCode yaml settings as other extensions on the WSL side.

Setting up the world is no problem to do on the windows side, but when it comes to programming the controller this would be alot nicer to be able to do and test from VSCode in WSL.

I would love to help contributing to this, but my knowledge in Webots and VSCode extension programming is to limited to get it started.

From what i´ve heard I think this would be possible to do with the supervisor controller.

Kind Regards
