[Feature]: Support multiple folders in workspace about nix-env-selector HOT 4 OPEN

I'd also like to suggest the ability to use shell.nix files that are not in the workspace root, but somewhere deeper in the directory structure. I often work in "monorepo" scenarios where the shell.nix file I need to enable is not directly in the workspace root directory.

@tbenst Thank you for the issue.
Now, priority for the project is rewriting the codebase to PureScript and bug fixing. I'll keep the issue in our backlog.

Also, I have good news. You can already use the extension for your propose.
All you need is add the following config to your project

{
    "nixEnvSelector.nixShellConfig": "/full/path/to/default.nix"
}

from nix-env-selector.

I think this could be fixed by making use of: ${workspaceFolder} instead of the deprecated ${workspaceRoot}:

^ this solution works great, thanks! After heavily using nix-env-selector for a few days, I find that I'm copying the same *.nix envs to multiple folders. Perhaps the better feature request is to specify a list of directories for nix-env-selector to search for *.nix files? e.g.

{
    "nixEnvSelector.nixShellDirectories": [ "/folder1" "/folder2" ]
}

That way could customize on both user and workspace level.
