Description

Please consider adding support for selecting a JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) as the default code editor.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the current code editor selection works in the codebase (likely in the settings or configuration module). Find the detection logic for supported editors and extend it to include JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Test the changes by selecting a JetBrains IDE in the app's settings.
