Feature Request: enablement property on MessageItems and QuickPickItems

[nturinski]

Because our extensions are supporting multiple environments, it would be nice to have an enablement property on the vscode.MessageItem and vscode.QuickPickItem objects. Similar to context commands, it would be great if they could be grayed out and disabled.

Examples of enablement would be isWeb, isVirtualEnvironment, any condtional statement, etc.

The package.json has this implementation when you define the commands in the manifest. It would be perfect if that behavior could be duplicated because as of now, our extensions have to hide quick pick items that don't work in a web environment, but that can get confusing for users when options that were available in desktop suddenly disappear.

I think this makes sense. I can't promise when it will actually come in, though PRs always welcome.

As a workaround, you can use vscode.window.createQuickPick() and then put all this disabled items under a quick pick separator called like "not available"... and then in your qp.onDidAccept handler you could just no-op for those items underneath that separator.

Thanks, that's a clever workaround that I'll use in the meantime! 😊
