Description
Hi,
I wonder if the devcontainer name (in devcontainer.json) could be added to the relevant entry in the recently opened menu (and any similar places). In the latest stable version (whether it is on Linux or macOS), we get: <folder-name> @ <remote-host> [Dev Container]. I use multiple devcontainers for a project and it would be easier to reopen the right devcontainer if the entry were <folder-name> @ <remote-host> [Dev Container: <name-in-devcontainer.json>].
Here is an illustration (without <remote-host> because Docker Engine is directly on the host) :
In fact, it would be great to have the window title name (cf. first and second window) in the recently opened menu.
Thanks
