Description
Description of the new feature
I have a tendency to have a D:/projects folder or something like that where all of my coding projects live in separate subdirectories.
I'd love to have them easily accessible in my new tab menu.
Proposed technical implementation details
matchProfiles should take a new parameter directories that takes a folder path. That would be super easy to add to the settings UI too.
Bonus points if we could come up with a way to replicate this in the command palette.
