Description of the new feature / enhancement

Command palette does similar thing. However, things like these:

npm run dev

php -S 127.0.0.1:8888

code .

...are required to run in specific folder, the command palette can't do this currently.

So, run here is used in context menu, it allows users to add command and provide a list in context menu, so that we don't need to open a command prompt to run these single command.

Scenario when this would be used?

If a command is frequently used, this feature just requires (probably) 2 clicks to run. No need to open the command prompt and type the same command again and again.

                         | Open in VS Code   |
                         |-------------------|

Some software actually implemented this for themselves. However, to have a single entrance would be great.
