Integrate with the Windows 11 Context Menu

[xandfis]

The new Windows 11 context menu uses IExplorerCommand + app identity for app integration. Identity is established for unpackaged Win32 like VS Code using Sparse Manifests.

A sample can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/AppModelSamples/tree/master/Samples/SparsePackages

The context menu extension is useful for a few key reasons:

1. File Type associations don't work with extensionless files
2. A context menu verb is the only way to open a whole folder of files in VS Code
3. File Type Associations can be an extra set of steps when opening a file is a one-off action

@joaomoreno need to test myself but this seems to be effectively a bug if this feature is broken in win11

[xandfis]

@sbatten Is there a way to convert this to a bug from a feature ask, or should I file a new one?

[sbatten]

I have add the bug label

[isidorn]

@sbatten I have talked to @xandfis over teams, feel free to ping me for more details if needed.

Yup, definitely a bug on Windows if that's the case.

Its actually still in the context menu, but you have to click on show more options. This will show the old windows 10 context menu. But I think it would still be better if it is on the first page next to windows terminal.

@joaomoreno i think its not necessarily a bug in Windows but a change in API if I understand OP correctly. I'll ping @isidorn for more info.

Let's first wait for this change to be done #127075
And then double check the Win11 experience after the default vscode install (associated to file types)

@isidorn Why does this need to be dependent on #127075? That work isn't scheduled until August and is just fit and finish. This issue is significantly impacting my work flow. It may not seem like much but I use this option with extreme frequency. Please reconsider.

Nothing about Windows 11 should significantly impact anyone's workflow today. The fact that you're on Windows 11 means you enrolled in the Insider program, Dev channel. Please have patience.
