Editor context menu actions feedback

[isidorn]

Hi VS Code dev here 👋

Open a python file, invoke a context menu in the editor and notice the following:

1. Run Current Test File command is there. When I execute it it says that I do not have testing enabled. I suggest to add this command only if testing is enabled in my workspace
2. Sort Imports -> shouldn't this be a part of the format document. I do not see why this command needs to be so promiment to take space in the context menu. Also there is already Source Action... command which shows the Sort Imports so this feels like duplication.
3. "Run python file in terminal" and "Run selection line in python terminal". I do not understand why one command says "in terminal" and the other "in python terminal". When I exectute them they just go to the terminal for me. Can we have some consistency in titles, or is it possible to drop one of those actions. Reason being, user can select the whole file and do Run selection, to cover the python file case
4. Run in Interactive window: I suggest to show this only if I have Jupter or whatever needed setup
5. Most of these actions do not make sense while you are debugging. I would also consider to hide them while the user is debugging (since the menu grows then additonally with vscode debug commands)

I believe VS Code plans to introduce context sub menus and then python could add all the actions to the submenu potentially.

fyi @qubitron @DonJayamanne

You also show these actions in the Explorer. I think the Explorer should be used for FS operations.

Thank you for the suggestion! We have marked this issue as "needs decision" to make sure we have a conversation about your idea. We plan to leave this feature request open for at least a month to see how many 👍 votes the opening comment gets to help us make our decision.

We no longer show testing related commands or the selection command in the menu:
