2. Open in browser, and lost the Go Home top-left menu.

We need below command in a plugin, and now it’s not work:

vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.actions.goHome')

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: No.

I ran into this when trying to implement the logout button using an extension. It’s possible to open a URL with openExternal (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#env) however I had two problems:

1. Relative URLs didn’t work (I wanted to redirect to ./login).
2. It opens in a popup instead of redirecting the current page.

So currently my ideas are:

1. Modify openExternal.
2. Extend VS Code’s API with a new method.

Both ideas aren’t that great though since we don’t have the ability to change the VS Code API types. So the only real solution is to submit a patch upstream that modifies openExternal, I think.
