Is there any extension that fullty supports the dev.json spec? I tried this : https://github.com/esensar/nvim-dev-container But it looks like it doesn`t add any of the features I set on the dev.json. I also cant seem to make the :terminal command attach to the container - it does work on VsCode :z.

1 project | /r/nvim | 28 Jun 2023

Is something like this even possible? I've seen https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers, but I can't really tell if this is what I'm looking for or not
