Make Workspace Extensions more intuitive to find and activate #216433

Description

@benibenj

I twice had a hard time finding the workspace extensions as I wanted to activate them. I would not have expected it to be part of the recommended extensions which is why I did not search there. I think it's fine to show it in the recommended view, but I think we can do a bit more to make it easier to find/activate.

Some ideas:

  • Have an entry in the file explorer to activate/deactivate a workspace extension
  • Allow searching the extension. I am aware that this mainly searches the marketplace, but this was one of the first actions I did when looking for the workspace extensions
  • Add a filter Workspace Recommendations or Workspace Extensions
  • Show it in the list of installed extensions. This makes sense as it is already "installed"
