I try to create an extension which add an item into the file menu. For examples I use an answer from StackOverflow and an article from code.visualstudio.com.
The article has the list:
- The global Command Palette - commandPalette
- The Explorer context menu - explorer/context
- The editor context menu - editor/context
- The editor title menu bar - editor/title
- The editor title context menu - editor/title/context
- The debug callstack view context menu - debug/callstack/context
- The SCM title menu - scm/title
- SCM resource groups menus - scm/resourceGroup/context
- SCM resources menus - scm/resource/context
- SCM change title menus - scm/change/title
- The View title menu - view/title
- The View item menu - view/item/context
- The macOS Touch Bar - touchBar
I sucsessfuly add an item to the context menu of the editor (and I have tried all of items from the list) but I do not understand how to add an item to the main menu (for example to the file menu).
P.S. A little investigation. In 2015 some user asked about adding a new item into top level menus. Then (as I understand it) developers added "a new top level menu for extension commands" (instead of ability to add a new item to any top level menu). It was in 2016. Then this top level menu dissappeared.
P.P.S. I have connect the user who asked about new menu item in 2015. He told me that as he know this functionality was not added.
