src/vs/workbench/browser/actions/workspaceActions.ts:66

The command title is changed to "Open Case...", but the native pick-folder dialog title in the Electron main process still uses the openFolder string with "Open Folder". This will show inconsistent wording between the command and the dialog; consider updating the dialog title at the same time or keeping the command text aligned with the dialog.

		super({
			id: OpenFolderAction.ID,
			title: localize2('openFolder', 'Open Case...'),
			category: Categories.File,
			f1: true,
			precondition: OpenFolderWorkspaceSupportContext,
			keybinding: {
				weight: KeybindingWeight.WorkbenchContrib,

src/vs/workbench/browser/actions/workspaceActions.ts:152

This command is still implemented as "Open Workspace from File" (it calls pickWorkspaceAndOpen), but the user-facing label is now "Open Case from File..." while the native dialog title remains "Open Workspace from File". Please align the terminology across the command label and the dialog title (or keep "Workspace" here) to avoid confusing users.

	constructor() {
		super({
			id: OpenWorkspaceAction.ID,
			title: localize2('openWorkspaceAction', 'Open Case from File...'),
			category: Categories.File,
			f1: true,
			precondition: EnterMultiRootWorkspaceSupportContext
		});

The PR title suggests a terminology-only change ("curate legal-first case terminology"), but this hunk also rebrands core product identifiers (name, applicationName, data folders, protocol, bundle id). If this is intentional, it likely warrants an updated PR description/issue scope; otherwise, consider splitting branding changes into a separate PR.

Changing applicationName / dataFolderName / serverDataFolderName will change where user data, caches, and server-side state are stored. That has operational implications (e.g. existing installs will not see prior settings/extensions without a migration step). If this is meant for an in-place upgrade, consider adding/handling a migration path; if not, please document that this is a clean-break change.

You can open a local project or a remote repository to get your files into VS Code.\n{0}\n{1}", Button(localize('openFolder', "Open Folder"), 'command:workbench.action.addRootFolder'), Button(localize('openRepository', "Open Repository"), 'command:remoteHub.openRepository')),

The openFolder localization key is used widely across the codebase for "Open Folder"-wording (and sometimes other related strings). Switching this specific callsite to "Open Case" while keeping the same key can lead to inconsistent terminology/translation context across the UI. Consider introducing a dedicated key for the "Case" terminology (e.g. openCase) or ensure all openFolder usages are updated consistently as part of the same change.

 	when: ContextKeyExpr.and(


This welcome text switches to "case" terminology, but the linked action label is still localized as "add a folder" and there is also another welcome string further down in this file that still says "You have not yet opened a folder". As-is, the empty-state UX will mix "case" and "folder" in the same view; please update the remaining strings/buttons for consistency (or keep the original wording).

src/vs/workbench/browser/parts/editor/editorGroupWatermark.ts

 const openFile: WatermarkEntry = { text: localize('watermark.openFile', "Open File"), id: 'workbench.action.files.openFile' };
-const openFolder: WatermarkEntry = { text: localize('watermark.openFolder', "Open Folder"), id: 'workbench.action.files.openFolder' };
+const openFolder: WatermarkEntry = { text: localize('watermark.openFolder', "Open Case"), id: 'workbench.action.files.openFolder' };
 const openFileOrFolder: WatermarkEntry = { text: localize('watermark.openFileFolder', "Open File or Folder"), id: 'workbench.action.files.openFileFolder' };


openFolder is now shown as "Open Case", but on macOS this watermark uses the combined entry "Open File or Folder" (still using "Folder"). This will result in mixed terminology depending on platform; consider updating the combined entry too (or keeping the folder terminology here).

Suggested change

const openFileOrFolder: WatermarkEntry = { text: localize('watermark.openFileFolder', "Open File or Folder"), id: 'workbench.action.files.openFileFolder' };

const openFileOrFolder: WatermarkEntry = { text: localize('watermark.openFileFolder', "Open File or Case"), id: 'workbench.action.files.openFileFolder' };
