VS Code SSH X11 forwarding

试了一整天的remote X11插件，不得不说，这个插件就是个垃圾。本方法无需remote x11插件。

Prepare for X11 forwarding

1. Install MobaXterm, which has a builtin X server

2. Edit `~/.ssh/config` if you are using windows

3. Set environment variable `DISPLAY`

example of `~/.ssh/config`

Host workstation
    Hostname <IP address>
    User <username>
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    ForwardX11 yes
    ForwardX11Trusted yes

Set environment variable

• To permanently set environment variable: `setx DISPLAY localhost:0.0`

• To temporarily set environment variable: `set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0`

Use X11 forwarding

1. Open MobaXterm, or any other X server

2. ssh into the remote host. X11 forwarding should be enabled automatically
