vscode-as3mxml provides an "ActionScript: Create New Project" command that detects Royale SDKs and creates a simple Royale Basic project (Flex, AIR, and Feathers SDKs are also detected with their own templates). VSCode's Explorer also supports custom views when no workspace folders are open, and a while back, I added a button there to create a new ActionScript project.
