Features

Adds a context menu that lets you choose which editor group to open a file from the Explorer.

Known Behavior and Workarounds

If you are annoyed that the Explorer view changes every time you switch the active editor group, search for Explorer: Auto Reveal (explorer.autoReveal) in settings and set it to false.

Even so, if you are annoyed that files opened from the Explorer do not land in the editor group you expected, this extension should help.
