Feature Req: Pin recents workspaces/folders/files in the welcome page to preserve main projects

[alejandrocoding]

Feature request:

I would like to suggest adding a way to pin recent workspaces/folders/files into the Welcome page, so everytime I open VSCode and I see Welcome Page, I can have my pinned projects right in front.

Description:

When opening different folders and files, your day to day projects get lost quickly, then user has access to the link "more..." and if clicked, a dropdown opens with all the latest recents projects, but I still think it would be great to be able to make some of them fav/liked or pinned, so even if I open many other files/projects, I have always a quick way to click the most used projects.

I'd love to hear what do you think about this. I do not see it as an extension, but you might have better reasoning.

* I'd offer myself but I'd need some guidance as I never contributed to this huge project.
* It could be a separator in the recents list, a section on top of recents, or a star/heart besides each recent label...

Thanks for this amazing tool,
