We notice that beginners often get tripped up when they launch VS Code for the first time and create their new file. They are not sure how to run their file, because they often don't realize they have to save their file and save it as a particular file extension to get language support. From @burkeholland's user test, one idea that came up was to include the options to Save an untitled file from the right-click tab menu. Thoughts on also adding an option to "Choose language" from the right-click menu which would open up the language mode quick pick?
