      Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

      Today it's possible to open a terminal in one of the containers defined in the devfile using the command "Terminal: Create new Terminal to DevWorkspace container".

      The feedback we get is that users are not aware of it and it's hard to find.

      Describe the solution you'd like

      Some improvements:

      • We should not use the term DevWorkspace because DevWorkspaces are not exposed to users: the label should be Terminal: Create New Terminal (Select a Container)
      • The command is not in the Terminal menu, we should add it there too
