The Quickstart template offered a "VS Code Desktop" editor option backed by the `vscode-desktop` module, which produced two "VS Code Desktop" buttons in the workspace view. Coder already enables the VS Code Desktop display app for every workspace by default via [`DefaultDisplayApps()` in `provisionersdk/agent.go`](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/c782cbce77b08c0d031a7131a05f5babd762519f/provisionersdk/agent.go#L58-L65) (`Vscode: true`), so the module was redundant and is the source of the duplicate. This removes the `vscode-desktop` module and its editor option, and updates the README to note that VS Code Desktop is available by default. The browser-based `code-server`, Cursor, JetBrains, Zed, and Windsurf options are unchanged. `examples.gen.json` is regenerated. Closes #26788 --- *Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @bpmct.*

Coder Quickstart
Get up and running with Coder in minutes. Choose your programming languages, pick your preferred editors, optionally clone a Git repository, and start coding.
How It Works
When you create a workspace from this template, you select:
- Languages to pre-install (Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, Java, C/C++)
- Editors to connect (VS Code in the browser, Cursor, JetBrains, Zed, Windsurf)
- A Git repository to clone (optional)
Coder provisions a workspace with your selections and you can start developing immediately.
Prerequisites
The host running Coder must have a Docker daemon accessible to the coder user:
# Add coder user to Docker group
sudo adduser coder docker
# Restart Coder server
sudo systemctl restart coder
# Verify access
sudo -u coder docker ps
Architecture
This template provisions:
- Docker container (ephemeral) running Ubuntu with the Coder agent
- Docker volume (persistent) mounted at
/home/coder
Files in your home directory persist across workspace restarts. Selected languages are installed on first start and cached for subsequent starts.
Presets
Select a preset to auto-fill languages and editors for common workflows:
| Preset | Languages | Editors |
|---|---|---|
| Web Development | Python, Node.js | VS Code (Browser) |
| Backend (Go) | Go | VS Code (Browser), JetBrains GoLand |
| Data Science | Python | VS Code (Browser) |
| Full Stack | Python, Node.js, Go | VS Code (Browser), Cursor |
IDE Notes
- VS Code (Browser): Opens directly in your browser with no local install required.
- VS Code Desktop: Available on every workspace by default (Coder enables the VS Code Desktop display app automatically), so it is not listed as a separate editor option.
- Cursor, Windsurf: Require the desktop application installed on your local machine. Coder opens them via protocol handler.
- JetBrains IDEs: Filtered by your language selection (e.g. PyCharm for Python, GoLand for Go). Requires JetBrains Toolbox or Gateway on your local machine.
- Zed: Connects over SSH. Requires Zed installed on your local machine.
