Description

It would be nice if a JavaScript/TypeScript breakpoint could be disabled (i.e. skipped, not deleted) by right-clicking on it in the editor margin and clicking a "Disable" context menu item. Some breakpoint types support this (like JDT & PyDev breakpoints).

Research direction

Start by tracing how JavaScript and TypeScript breakpoints are represented and how their editor-margin context menu is built. Compare the existing disabled-breakpoint behavior mentioned for JDT and PyDev; done means a right-click Disable action skips the breakpoint without deleting it.
