Implements an "Open In External Editor" option/menu button to the file system dock menu which opens by right clicking any file/directory. Below is the demonstration of how the option works. The option is not visible to the users who have
text_editor/external/use_external_editor
disabled.Under the hood: it makes use of
OS.execute
where the program path is the user defined code editor path and in the arguments it passes the current selected directory's path globalized.godot.windows.editor.x86_64_zPI9N3NnXW.mp4
This improves the developer workflow by reducing the need to open a terminal just to launch the external editor from a project folder.
