I suggest to put it in src/tools/ide.ts which doesn't exist yet.
This one I'll have to test on each platform. Is it an output from Claude?

Using exec means the IDE process will be attached to the electron one (or am I wrong?)
If it is attached, I suggest to use node-pty in order to run the command outside of the current process like I did for VSCode so the IDE keeps opened even if the user closes the editor

You could use the same method than the part // Try each IDE in order in line 53

Could replace "Open in Visual Studio"

| <ContextMenuItem className="flex items-center gap-2" onClick={() => ipcRenderer.send("editor:show-item", this.props.absolutePath)}> | ||
| <ImFinder className="w-4 h-4" /> {`Show in ${isDarwin ? "Finder" : "Explorer"}`} | ||
| {`Show in ${isDarwin ? "Finder" : "Explorer"}`} |

Please remove the import of "ImFinder " then to fix the lint issue

Summary
Adds "Open in Default IDE/Editor" across the editor, enabling users to open files and project directories in their preferred IDE or the system default editor. Implements detection for VS Code, Cursor, Sublime Text, PhpStorm, WebStorm, and IntelliJ IDEA, trying available options in priority order.
