Subtle VsCode Extension I Can't Live Without

I came across an extension for VsCode when I was frustrated about having to run the code . or code ../<some_dir> command over and over when I wanted a new VsCode window to open.

I came across this VsCode extension: chrisdias.vscode-opennewinstance

Context Menu Shortcut

It's real simple, it just adds an option to your context menu inside of VsCode that allows you to open a folder in a new window/workbench.

Although it's simple, I find it super useful, and realized recently when working on a VM that I can't live without it! It's one of the first extensions that I add to a new system.
