Launch interactive command and shortcut gone

[weitzhandler]

C# interactive used to have a command assignable to keyboard shortcut to just open the window, regardless of current coding context (it’s a separate context anyway).
It's been over a year now that this command and shortcut has been missing. It was replaced by the InteractiveConsole.ExecuteInInteractive command which has several issues:

• It assumes I want to copy-paste code from my current editor into console, when I merely want to open up the REPL to execute C# on the fly
• In most scenarios, the current editor holds complex classes with dependeincies on packages etc. which in any case cannot be executed in the REPL.
• When the REPL pane opens, if the mouse is not over it, it immediately hides. When opening the REPL, keyboard focus should be set to it.

My request is therefore:

• Please add back a command to simply open the C# interactive windows, (like F# interactive's View.F#Interactive).
• Make sure keyboard focus is set into the REPL once opened.

FYI, when pressing Ctrl+Q to open the 'Feature Search' window, and searching 'interactive', the following results appear:

It seems the command is Microsoft.VisualStudio.LanguageServices.CSharp.Interactive.OpenInteractiveWindowCommand, alas this command is not available in the list of all commands in the command bar / shortcut editor.
