Wrong Path Separator

[shaonianruntu]

Issue Type: Performance Issue

I am used to using the remote development function of vscode under Windows to connect to my Linux server for development. But when I drag files or folders under the PROJECT window in the sidebar to the remote TERMINAL, it always use the Windows path separator style, that is '\' instead of '/', which makes me very confused. I think this maybe a functional defect or bug.

Following image shows the drag-and-drop effects of folders and files during testing:

May be related to the fact that on Windows it's always copied in Windows style #56279

Looks like the path is being prepared based on the local path, not the remote path:

vscode/src/vs/workbench/contrib/terminal/browser/terminalService.ts

Line 600 in 265a2f6

if (isWindows) {

It seems to be the case.
This seems to be a setting that does not meet the requirements of the WSL develop environment. I hope that it can support the use of the corresponding path separator in the remote development environment in future versions. Set the path separator according to the terminal environment, not according to the current native operating system.
