You can do this right now on android. If you're using chrome/chromium based browser, just visit vscode.dev and then select add to home screen from the browser menu. A similar option exists in firefox on android too, I believe.

Once you open the shortcut created from the previous step, it will open the webapp without the browser's UI.

Nice, this works on iPad with Safari as well. At the very least, simple key binds work. Thanks!
How did you get Chrome not to hijack right-clicks?
Do you mean vscode.dev itself hijacking right-clicks to display its context menu[0]? If so, there's this great extension I use to enable it on the myriad of websites that use it for non-alt-context-menu usage[1].

Umm... no. I want vscode.dev's context menu.
I didn't play around with it much. It might have the issues you're facing.
