VSCode Extension API - Identify file or folder click in explorer context menu

Question

VSCode 1.3 has added support for adding commands to context menus. Is there a way to identify whether a file or folder is clicked to open the explorer context menu?

Answer 1

You can use "when": "explorerResourceIsFolder".

I had to dig through the code to find it (I was actually writing up a response to say it didn't exist and enumerating the possible clause values when I saw it).

As of v1.10.1:

config.
editorIsOpen
explorerResourceIsFolder
explorerViewletFocus
explorerViewletVisible
filesExplorerFocus
globalMessageVisible
inDebugMode
inQuickOpen
inZenMode
listFocus
openEditorsFocus
resource (Uri information: path, query, scheme, etc)
resourceFilename
resourceLangId
resourceScheme
scmProvider
textCompareEditorVisible

I've submitted an issue to improve the documentation for this.
