Recommend extension from extension tab

[AlexAegis]

I'd like to add extensions to the extensions.json's "recommendations" array by the context menu of an extension.

"Add to recommendations"

If it's already there change this to "Remove from recommendations"

Right now it's quite cumbersome to add a recommendation as I have to copy the extensions name from the label (or by the url if I opened it) and manually copy it. And even then I don't know If I already added that to the recommendations or not.

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Look only in default paths for recommendations (#59769)
• Ability to enable only [all] recommended extensions (#61723)
• Restore Ignore Recommendation (#68496)

@ramya-rao-a Didn't we have that already?

We have a command for it. But its not exposed via the context menu

👍 FWIW, I'm a relative newbie, but also a curious exploratory "power user" that is leading our team in adopting VS Code for more contexts, and it never occurred to me to use the command palette from this context.

will there be a command that can be invoked by the extension to do this?

Yeah here are the commands

workbench.extensions.action.addExtensionToWorkspaceRecommendations
workbench.extensions.action.removeExtensionFromWorkspaceRecommendations
