macOS: OS services cannot pick up selected text from editor

[mjbvz]

Testing #1628

steps to reproduce

• On a mac, open a text file and try selecting a line of text in the editor
• Run the create sticky note service. This is under the code -> Services menu or can be triggered with cmd + shift + y

Expected
The selected text in the editor is opened in a new sticky note

Actual
Some other text is opened in the new sticky note. I'm not sure where we are getting it from

@alexandrudima, assigning to you initially as this seems like it may be related to the editor and textinputs/textareas. Feel free to reassign if you think someone else on the team may be the better owner for this

I can't even get that far. MacOS Services keyboard shortcut has no behavior, and if I were to highlight text, and use the context menu (by right-clicking the text), the Services menu is not found at all, as if #1628 hadn't been implemented at all.

VSCode 1.16.1
MacOS 10.12.6

On macOS 10.14.1 (Mojave) and the latest VSCode, I see the same issue.

• No Services menu in the right-click when text is selected
• The macOS Code -> Services menu says "No Services Apply"

In Slack, the macOS Slack -> Services menu works fine. The system menu in Microsoft Teams (Teams -> Services) also works when text is selected. (Mentioning those two because I they also use Electron. Neither properly show the Services menu in right-click, but at least the top level menu works.)

Seeing same behaviours as @tgharold as well, on macOS 10.14.5 and latest VSCode (1.36.1).
Frustrating!
