Add editor toolbar button for "Qwen Code: Run" (like Claude / Open Code / Factory Droid) #1110

Hi, and thanks for the great work on Qwen Code.

Currently the VS Code integration exposes a Qwen Code: Run command, but there is no corresponding button in the editor title / Actions toolbar (the bar next to the file name), unlike other AI coding extensions such as Claude Code, Open Code, and Factory Droid which add a one-click icon there.

A dedicated editor toolbar button would bring the UX in line with other AI coding extensions and would make it easier to open Qwen Code, without having to open the Command Palette or bind a custom keybinding.

It would also serve as free publicity for Qwen Code. Once the user installs the extension, the always-visible icon acts as a reminder that Qwen Code is there and ready to use.

Please add a contributed command in editor/title (e.g. via contributes.menus.editor/title in the extension manifest) that:

  • Appears as an icon in the editor title bar when an editor has focus
  • Calls the existing Qwen Code: Run command (same behavior as today, just with a button trigger)

Note: If there is already a hidden or undocumented way to enable such a button, documentation for that would also solve the problem.

Thanks!
