SSH Agent in Jetbrains products

Hello everyone

FYI: We're running Kubuntu 24.04 LTS!

I recently switched to having my ssh keys stored in Bitwarden desktop as oppose to having them flying around in ~/.ssh/. Consequently, I make them accessible via an ssh agent, which relies on the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable being set to point to the correct socket belonging to Bitwarden. So I added export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=path/to/bitwarden.sock  to my .bashrc.

I did a bit of experimenting, assisted by a LLM, and we concluded that the environment is dropped or ignored when launching a jetbrains app via the toolbox or the ~/local/share/applications/Pycharm_[…].desktop for example. However, this is the way I tend to launch my applications. The solutions offered by the LLM were:
- Patch the toolbox and/or the .desktop file (which is annoying, considering it is rewritten with every update)
- Always launch the applications from a shell.

I doubt I'm the only one using Bitwarden for this purpose and by the output of the LLM, there must have been some options that are now merged or removed which used to be available. How are you guys dealing with SSH Agents which supply private keys both for git and SSH?

I really hope there's a solution I've failed to see as oppose to having to always patch the toolbox executable environment as well as the applications themselves.
