VSCode: Long-press send button to show context menu with queue/schedule message

Feature Request

Description

Add a context menu to the send message button in the VSCode extension that appears on long-press (hold). This menu would provide options beyond the default "send immediately" behavior.

Proposed Options

• Queue Message — Add the message to a queue that sends sequentially, useful when you want to line up multiple prompts without waiting for each to complete before typing the next
• Schedule Message — Send the message after a delay or at a specific time (e.g., "send in 5 minutes", "send at 3:00 PM")

Motivation

When working on multi-step tasks, I often know what my next 2-3 prompts will be while Claude is still processing the current one. Being able to queue messages would let me type ahead and keep my flow going. Scheduling is useful for timed operations like "run the build check in 10 minutes after the deploy finishes."

Suggested UX

• Short press → sends immediately (current behavior, no change)
• Long press / right-click → opens a small context menu above the button with:
• Send Now (default)
• Queue After Current
• Schedule Send...

A queued message indicator (badge/counter) near the input area would show how many messages are waiting.

Alternatives Considered

• Typing multiple messages that pile up in the input — not possible today, input is single-message
• Using the /loop skill — different purpose, meant for recurring commands not one-off queuing
