Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.

The Aspire VSCode extension currently opens the dashboard automatically in a new tab by default. There's also a VSCode command to open the dashboard. On ultrawide monitors, I often find myself moving the tab to the side so I can see it side-by-side with the code. It would be nice to have this as a VSCode command so I don't have to manually move it each time it launches.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to be able to run a VSCode command to open the Aspire dashboard to the side. For example:

  • "Aspire: Open dashboard to the side"

This is similar to the GitHub Copilot extension's commands:

  • "Chat: New Copilot CLI Session" (equivalent to the existing "Aspire: Open dashboard" command)
  • "Chat: New Copilot CLI Session to the side" (what's being requested here)
