…ed is toggled Extended the CountBadge class to enhance the QuickPick interface by creating a ToggleCountBadge. This maintains the CountBadge logic but acts as a button that filters the list of items to only show the items the user selected. This gives users a better experience when dealing with long lists. The motivation was selecting packages for installation in python-environments. A flag was added so that when invoking the QuickInput UI, the type of count badge can be chosen depending on what better suits the situation.

This PR addresses the issue #245168 by extending the existing CountBadge ({0} Selected) to act as a button that enhances the package/extension installation interface. When the button is toggled on, it filters the dropdown list to display only the selected packages or extensions, allowing users to focus on their current choices. The users can also unselect items when the list is filtered and when toggling it off it restores the full list with the updated state. This new feature provides a convenient way to switch between a filtered and complete view, giving the users a better experience.
The focus was python-environments package installation but the implementation in the core is generic, so a flag was added so that when invoking the QuickInput UI the type of count badge can be chosen to better suit the situation.
