Hide the "Format XAML" option outside of the XAML editor

[ravindUwU]

The "Format XAML" context menu option, which appears upon right-clicking the code editor, does so irrespective of the language of the document being edited (which makes it available (but useless) when languages other than XAML are edited).

While it should appear in the XAML editor,

...it shouldn't when other languages are being edited,

Is it possible to conditionally add the option to the context menu?

Not 100% sure if this is possible, but definitely worth exploring.

Alternatively, a setting (that would be inactive by default), to (unconditionally) hide the "Format XAML" context menu option, would be nice.

This is because same command can be invoked automatically upon saving a XAML file, or via a keyboard shortcut which IIRC is assigned by default.

Hi there,

Is this feature already available? The submenu stills apears on other documents.

Thanks.

This would be a great improvement, assuming it is technically feasible given the current Visual Studio SDK.

In that this has had no progress in over 5 years and even though the "help wanted" label was removed, I'm assuming that you are still open to a contribution to fix this. I find it very annoying/disappointing that the context menu shows up in the context menu of all code editor window, regardless of the file type.

Yes! Still open to a contribution to fix this.
