Open in current window if empty

[albireox]

One thing I like about how the Atom project manager works is that it will normally open new projects into a new window. But if the current window is empty (that is, there is no directory or file open, only and untouched Untitled file), it would replace the window with the project. Would it be possible to have this as an option?

Hi @albireox ,

I think that it's a good idea. Thanks for your suggestion 👍

@alefragnani is it still relevant issue? Can I try to do this?

It appears it depends on microsoft/vscode#15178, to know if there is any file/folder/workspace opened.

From Slack https://vscode-dev-community.slack.com/archives/C74CB59NE/p1574037925370200:

checking vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders returns undefined if I don't have a Folder or a Workspace (multi-root folder) opened, which is fine. But if I have random files opened (no folder related) it will return undefined as well 😢. I tried to use vscode.workspace.textDocuments (which is described as All text documents currently known to the system.), but even with no opened file, it can return 1, because of the Welcome Page..
