The current profiling framework has short-cuts for the various profiling tools which all show up in the Profile As... context menu item.  The new design proposal is to collapse this into a Local C/C++ Application short-cut which will run the default category and the default tool for the category (as set by preferences and properties).

The old short-cuts should still be supported for those who want to use them, but it would be cleaner if they were placed into a special context menu selection (e.g. Profiling Tools) to clean up the Profile As... menu and make it consistent with the CDT items for run and debug.

This will likely require a new extension for the tools to use rather than the platform shortcut extension.  They should behave the same way as they do today when clicked.
