Issue: Add an optional configurable toolbar below the menu
Labels: feature-request,layout

Whole my life I used ide where there was a customizable toolbar. I starded to use vscode and stopped to use it after one day. It is impossible to remember all shorcuts. In any other popular ide you can put any menu item on toolbar and use it from time to time.

WTF MS? VS code? VS users?

Don't tag it "out-of-scope" as you did before with similar requests. Even simple editors have toolbar.
It isn't advanced feature it's basic feature for most people.
Using ide without toolbar is not user friendly for most users. It is vim way.

**People really need it like "exit from vim":**

**FAQ FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST THE TOOLBAR**:

>I don't want to use toolbar so I am against that feature-request.

It is not a problem "it is optional toolbar". If you don't want you can don't use it.

>If you want it so why don't you form a team and submit a PR?

People have offered, go look at the many other bug reports made on the same issue. MS has said they would likely reject it. They don't even want to add hooks to make a plugin possible. So it's not a resource issue, it's an ideological one.

**Temporary workaround by @GorvGoyl:**
>It seems like it won't be the high priority feature in foreseeable future so I made this extension which adds handy buttons like beautify, list files, undo, redo, save all etc to the editor menu bar in the VSCode.
