Using KeePass & KeeAgent with Visual Studio Code

When using Visual Studio Code in Windows, a lot of times you might want to connect to a remote server via SSH, so you can edit files on that server directly, instead of setting up a local development environment or pulling and pushing files repeatedly, e.g. via FTP.

Although documentation on how to install and use the remote SSH extension exists, things start to get a bit more complicated when you want to use secure key based authentication.
