Toggle support for QuickInput in API

Please provide option buttons option for window.createInputBox & window.showInputBox.

I like the idea. It's not something we've explored yet mostly because buttons are available in the title bar:

https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#InputBox

Via the buttons property.

Is there a particular use case you were looking for?

Let's say I want to create a password input with a visibility toggle button. Displaying the eye off-on icon on the title bar seems weird UI-UX. Because the inputbox and button which tweaks the input were on different nodes & seems like there is no connection between these two (imagine putting a password-toggle icon beside the label instead of inside the inputbox ).
What if I wanna create an input box with a clear input value button?

Yeah I think that makes sense. We don't have such a concept today of toggles in the quick pick (even natively) so this is a bit more work... so I've added it to the backlog since we're not planning on addressing this right away... but we have thought about it for a while.

We do now have Toggle support for Quick Inputs in core, the next step would be lighting it up in API

Wiring toggle support through to the API would benefit this use-case:

This quickpick is in the extension whose source is at https://github.com/intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript. The 3 titlebar buttons act as toggles. Currently the only toggle-state indication available to the user is the tooltip saying "Hide..." or "Show..."
