[❔]About using the "Context Menu - Selected" command from the VSCode command palette

[claudio-salvio]

Hello @electrotype

I tried to run "Context Menu - Selected" from the VSCode command palette but nothing happens.

I thought that doing so would open the "windows context menu" from the file shown in the editor but I was wrong. Is there any way to do it?

My ultimate goal was to associate a shortcut key (e.g. CTRL+APPS) to the "Context Menu - Selected" command so that I could execute it directly.

🙏Thanks for making this useful extension available.

Best regards, Claudio

Hello @claudio-salvio ,

I just published a 3.2.0 version to address this. There are some limitations, but I think it does provide the feature that you are looking for.

• You need to use the "☰ Context Menu" command from the command palette to target the file open in the active editor, not "☰ Context Menu - Selected".

• The command "☰ Context Menu - Root" also works, as long as you only have one workspace open in your VSCode instance.

• The command "☰ Context Menu - Selected" (that targets selected files in the Explorer view) doesn't work and currently cannot work.

Let me know if you find any issues!

Hello @electrotype,

Thank you very much for adding this functionality so quickly ! It works perfectly well.

I generated a keybinding from ContextMenu to SHIFT+F10 when editorTextFocus that allows me to access the Windows Context Menu directly.

I had originally planned to generate the keybinding to some combination with the CONTEXTMENU key. Unfortunately none of them worked, I tried ALT+CONTEXTMENU, CTRL+CONTEXTMENU, SHIFT+CONTEXTMENU and in all cases it still opens the VSCode context menu and not the Windows Context Menu. I suspect that VSCode reserves the use of the CONTEXTMENU (aka APPS) key somehow because in the list of keybindings there is no keybinding that uses it.
