Steps to reproduce

I've added the following line to my settings.json:
"startupActions": "split-pane -V; move-focus left; split-pane -H; move-focus right; split-pane -H;move-focus left;move-focus up"

This is to open 4 panes. I would like this to always happen. However this does not happen when I open from the context menu in a folder, I just get one in that case.

Expected Behavior

To get 4 panes when I launch from the context menu.

Actual Behavior

I get 1 pane when I launch from the context menu.
