Future

• Snippets pane needs a button to add a snippet
  • with options for saving to the settings.json,
  • or to the .wt.json currently found. (like, save it to the most local wt json)
• Command decorator (driven by marks megathread: Scrollbar Marks #11000) should include a "save as snippet" command
• Snippets needs to not be preview-only

WIP Branches:

• Local snippets:
  • dev/migrie/fhl/local-tasks-2024 was the branch from the last day of Spring FHL 2024, but that branched off the md-pane prototype.
  • dev/migrie/f/just-local-tasks is me trying to isolate that commit
  • dev/migrie/f/just-local-snippets I started working on, till I realized I'd need to work on top of Allow actions in the new tab dropdown #17281
  • dev/migrie/f/local-snippets-on-action-refactor
    • I think dev/pabhoj/action_new_tab_menu...dev/migrie/f/local-snippets-on-action-refactor1 is ready, but turns out that action_new_tab_menu didn't have main merged in, so the history is confusing now
    • dev/pabhoj/action_new_tab_menu...dev/migrie/f/local-snippets-cleaner has a cleaner delta, I think
