Activate extension when VSCode first opens instead of when Python script opened

[dataders]

My python extension doesn't activate until I open up a Python script in the editor. I would like the extension to activate immediately after launching VS Code. Is there a setting I can change to make this happen?

This would probably help #4765

This would require the extension to be active.

Totally. I'm happy to jump on that issue's bandwagon!
