Blazor add missing using to _Imports automatically

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

I find myself and maybe other developers do as well frequently and repeatedly moving @using directives into _Imports.razor than keeping them in the Blazor component. This has to be done manually because all usings are added into the Blazor component.

Thus I suggest that add using has an option in Blazor editor (via Tools -> Options) where I could toggle if the using is added to the component or directly into _Imports.razor upon Alt+Enter -> add missing using (or what is the feature called).

Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to provide your suggestion. We will do some preliminary checks to make sure we can proceed further. You will hear from us in about a week on our next steps.

Decision on action: Add a light bulb to promote a using statement into the _Imports.razor file (and possibly from _Imports.razor into another _Imports.razor).

@NTaylorMullen yeah, the idea was like that for current project, usings in Blazor code would be automatically put into _Imports when doing Alt+Enter (Ctrl + dot) add missing using.
