@lszomoru Is this coming soon-ish?

[lszomoru]

I will try to get this finalised in February.

@lszomoru Do you know if the plan is still to include this in the February release? I noticed it is not included in the February iteration plan

There are multiple VS Code extensions that were making use of the previous API so it'd be great to be able to restore this functionality to users!

There are still couple of things to finalise around the execution of the actions that are being contributed to this menu so we simply ran out of time. We will try to get this finalises in March 2024.

@lszomoru I'm guessing this is another Copilot-only feature :( I hope we can eventually use this, let me know if there's anything we can do to help
