Add 'explorerViewletFocus for keybinding when` context

[waderyan]

Atom provides keyboard shortcuts such as a and shift+a when in the file explorer context. As far as I can tell we do not have an explorerFocus value for when, when defining keybindings. This would be needed to implement user request here.

What we want to do is add something like this to the Atom Keymap extension.

{
    "mac": "a",
    "win": "a",
    "linux": "a",
    "key": "a",
    "command": "workbench.files.action.createNewFile",
    "when": "explorerFocus"
},
{
    "mac": "shift+a",
    "win": "shift+a",
    "linux": "shift+a",
    "key": "shift+a",
    "command": "workbench.files.action.createNewFolder",
    "when": "explorerFocus"
}

The explorer hasn't fully adopted our keybindings story and at this point not all keybindings are customizable in there (e.g. F2).

Maybe this one - #4557

@waderyan thats it. sorry, I did not want to treat you any more special than I do any other user ;)

[bpasero]

I added new contexts that can be used to assign keybindings that only work when explorer or open editors have focus:

• explorerFocus
• openEditorsFocus

Awesome!

Does not work for me, my example:

{
            "key": "cmd+e",
            "command": "workbench.action.quickOpen",
            "when": "explorerFocus"
      },

@isidorn sorry, the context key is: explorerViewletFocus

[isidorn]

@bpasero no worries, works now
