Extensions can now contribute actions to an extension's context menu in extension viewlet using the new menu location extension/context. You can use the when condition "when": "extensionStatus==installed" if you want to have the action only on installed extensions.

Develop an extension that can contribute an action to extension's context menu

• Make sure the action is shown based on the context you defined.

• Make sure your command is called with the extension id as argument

@sandy081 I can't get this to work, can you provide a sample extension that does this? Here's my basic extension:

import * as vscode from 'vscode';

export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {

	console.log('### activated');
	context.subscriptions.push(registerCommand());
}

function registerCommand() {
	return vscode.commands.registerCommand('extension.helloWorld', async extensionId => {
		console.log(extensionId);
		vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Hello World');
	});
}

and my package.json:

	"contributes": {
		"commands": [
			{
				"command": "extension.helloWorld",
				"title": "👋 Hello World"
			}
		]
	},
	"menus": {
		"extension/context": [
			{
				"command": "extension.helloWorld",
				"group": "2_configure"
			}
		]
	},

And I'm assuming "extension context menu" means the gear icon in the extension viewlet on the specific extension? Or is this a different context menu?

Forgot that the menus needs to be part of contributes. It's working now:
