Add Actions to Quickpicks, that modify behavior or filter content

[mahmoudsalah1993]

Add the option to add actions or commands to the end of quickpicks. They should appear at the end of the options with a separator between the options and actions. The actions section shouldn't show checkbox in the canSelectMany mode. This allows the calling extension to toggle between 2 execution modes for example which filter options based on the mode.

In multi-select mode hitting accept while an action is in the quickpick's active items should resolve to the action only.

QuickPick Items kind (QuickPickItemKind can then have a type of default, separator and action.

Single-select mode:

Multi-select mode:

At this time, the best thing you have in an extension is the ability to set a button on the quick pick that could toggle this behavior. That's what folks use today.

Folks have also added "actions" to the bottom of the quick pick list like you did, but in your case, you really need #141500 to do what you've mocked up there.

That said, I like what you've suggested as it allows us to be a bit more explicit in saying how these additional "actions" should behave... I also recall a feature request where folks wanted things pinned and I think these actions could be pinned to be always visible.
