Description

Type: Feature Request

Every time a `.env` file is created/edited anywhere in the workspace, and `python.terminal.useEnvFile` is false, a pop-up comes up explaining that environment injection is disabled. It would be good if this prompt had a "Don't show again" button, as it can happen quite frequently.
