Description

Very annoying when you accidentally click on a Project in Visual Studio IDE explorer and the *.csproj file opens.

image

Please give the optional opportunity in C# Dev Kit explorer to open *.csproj fils from the context menu instead of mouse left button click. Please do it for *.sln files too.

P.S. I'm reopening 991 issue because my suggestion is not about the Visual Studio IDE but VScode. I just mentiond what I do not like in Visual Studio IDE and hope in VSCode we will get better experiance.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the C# Dev Kit explorer behavior for Project entries and the *.csproj and *.sln files mentioned in the issue. Determine how left-click and context-menu actions should differ, then verify that both file types follow the requested behavior in VS Code.
