Context Menu

[RobinKirsch]

Hello,

first of all: this is a great extension!

As I am searching a lot via my project, I would love a context menu there.

Currently the way to go is Search for variable X -> find Variable X in File XY.c -> Right Click on File XY.c -> Reveal in Explorer View -> Right Click on File XY.c & Open in External App.

I would be happy to have this context menu added.

Thank you and happy new year :).

I did set a default keyboard for this extension because it is easy to custoom keybinding in vscode.

1. open keyboard shortcuts editor with shortcut cmd + k cmd + s on mac or ctrl + k ctrl + s on windows
2. search open in external
3. click the left pen icon and input the custom shortcut

Thanks this does help.

But if I have an open lets say C-Code File and I want to open it with Notepad I would like to jump to the line where I am at in the Visual Studio Code. Is that also possible? Cause with the "Open in External App" Command I can only open the file but do not jump to the code line.

Thanks in Advance.

"openCommand": "C:\Progam Files\ProgramXY\ProgramXY.exe -l%line% %path%"

This is what i can use in a different program from github (dnGrep), i tried using it in the settings.json but it does not work :(

I also tried the following:
"openCommand": "C:\Progam Files\ProgramXY\ProgramXY.exe -l%${cursorLineNumber}% %path%" -> do you have a variable for the path of the current file or is there another solution

You should ensure the command `"C:\Progam Files\ProgramXY\ProgramXY.exe -l 1 /path/to/file.txt" works in cmd.exe. Is this works?

And you should replace openCommand with shellCommand like:

 {
      "extensionName": "ts",
      "apps": [
        {
          "title": "run ts file",
          "shellCommand": "C:\Progam Files\ProgramXY\ProgramXY.exe -l ${cursorLineNumber} ${file}"
        }
      ]
    },
