When using the "Create New" functionality to create a Python script, the script file was being created successfully but not opened in the editor, requiring users to manually navigate and open the file. This PR fixes the issue by modifying the `addPythonProjectCommand` function to: 1. Capture the return value from `creator.create()` 2. Check if the result is a `Uri` (indicating a single file like a script was created) 3. Call `showTextDocument(uri)` to automatically open the script in the editor **Before:** - User selects "Create New" → Script → enters name - Script file is created but user has to manually find and open it **After:** - User selects "Create New" → Script → enters name - Script file is created AND automatically opened in the editor The implementation is minimal and surgical: - Only affects cases where creators return a `Uri` (like script files) - Projects that return `PythonProject` objects are unaffected - Uses existing `showTextDocument` utility function - Applied to both the main creator path and existing projects creator path Fixes #478. --- 💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
