Is there any way to use this extension at Maya start up?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This extension works. But need to setup every time new session.

Describe the solution you'd like
If I don't need to manually run the line of code to open port every time open a new Maya or vs code session that will be great!

If there already a way to do it like setup a user setup file etc. please let me know.

Hi @FrankShao318
If you are familiar with the userSetup.mel, then you can add the following command to it
commandPort -name "localhost:7001" -sourceType "mel" -echoOutput;
This will ensure that the port is open on Maya startup

Hi @artbycrunk ,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Previously, I was using Pycharm and had a userSetup.py file which setup the commandPort 4434 for Pycharm.
Can I have both of them work together? Or I can only have one work in the folder?

@FrankShao318 yeah both should be able to work together, as long as the vscode-maya extension is made aware of what port number you want to use.

@artbycrunk Thank you very much!
