Problem Description

Currently custom action can be triggered either automatically and always, or manually using context menu.

A motivating use case would be when searching a folder, most of the time you want to open it in explorer, while sometimes you want to open it in VS Code. Currently the only way to achieve it is to have a custom action of opening folders in VS Code and turn on triggering automatically. While this works, it makes the common case (open in explorer) use Ctrl + Enter, while the uncommon case (open in VS Code) use Enter.

Proposed Solution

A hotkey to manually trigger custom action.
