"when" clause for every sub-command

[shotexa]

I'd like to supply a "when" clause for every sub-command, as shown in this example:

 "multiCommand.commands": [
        {
            "command": "multiCommand.formatDocument",
            "sequence": [
                {
                    "command": "editor.action.formatDocument",
                },
                {
                    "command": "editor.action.organizeImports",
                    "when": "!activeEditorIsDirty"
                }
            ]
        }
  ]

When I tried to do it, the extension just ignores the "when" clause but works otherwise. Am I doing it wrong? or is it just not supported right now?

I really wanted to implement this kind of feature and investigated before, but I couldn't find a way to get current context from an extension.

Please somehow use "when" in the keybindings.json now.

does this comment offer a way to implement this now? microsoft/vscode#10471 (comment)

I’ve read the comment and the referred document, but I think the solution is only related a context menu in a webview. I’m afraid the solution is not the alternative way of getting the current context.
