Description

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

The Extract Interface dialog defaults the "Select destination" field to the "New file name" choice. It would be nice if there were an option to change this default to the other choice ("Add to current file"). I do this action A LOT and it would be nice if I didn't have to change it every time.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the Extract Interface refactoring dialog is implemented in the Roslyn codebase. Locate where the default destination (New file name) is set and understand the settings mechanism to propagate an option for defaulting to 'Add to current file'. Look for existing similar options in the Extractor or Refactoring related code.
