I use Visual Studio Code and the CMake extension (twxs.cmake). The extension integrates CMake to vscode. There is a button which allows us to run a target in terminal window. It looks like a play button. .
My question is, how can I add a keyboard shortcut for this button? I cannot find the action name so I cannot link it. I wish to use keyboard shortcut instead of clicking that button every time.
I tried googling the action name of this button so I could bind it with any keyboard shortcut, but I couldn't find anything.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Shift+F5 appears to do the same thing as clicking that button.
I found the following here:
Running Targets Without a Debugger
Sometimes one will want to just run a target and see its output. This
can be done with the CMake: Execute the current target without a
debugger command, or the associated keybinding (the default is
Shift+F5).
The output of the target will be shown in an integrated terminal.
I am switching from PyCharm to VS Codium. I want to be able to disable breakpoints by middle mouse click, like in pycharm.
Currently, I can disable a breakpoint by right click at breakpoint and select Disable Breakpoint:
Another way is to disable it in list in Breakpoints view.
But I want to be able to quickly enable/disable it by just clicking with mouse wheel (middle button). Is it possible to configure VS Code this way? Currently, when I middle click on breakpoint, this is ignored, and instead a text from selection clipboard is pasted (it is the default behavior in linux). Visual Studio Code version is 1.66.1.
There is no way at the moment to customize mouse click events. There are a few hardcoded options you can change in the settings, but it is extremely limited like pressing ctrl and the mouse wheel for zoom. As far as I am aware, disabling breakpoints is not among those options.

I currently use the following workaround.
Remap the middle click to some button.
For wayland several utilities can be used for that. Let's take kbct.
Add such config (edit for your needs)
/etc/kbct/config.yml:
- keyboards: [ "Logitech MX Master" ]
keymap:
btn_middle: f15
Then start kbct.service.
Create the ruler script
Make the file choose_press.sh:
#!/bin/bash
class=$(xdotool getactivewindow getwindowclassname)
if [ "x$class" == "xVSCodium" ]; then
ydotool click 0xC1 # right click
sleep 0.2
ydotool key 107:1 107:0 28:1 28:0 # End, Enter
else
ydotool click 0xC2 # middle click
fi
Do not forget to add executable permissions.
Bind shortcut to the script
To assign a command to shortcut in KDE, go to System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts, right click, choose New -> Global Shortcut -> Command/URL. Go to Action tab and fill in the command. In this case it will be the path to choose_press.sh. Note: do not use ~ there.
And in Trigger tab assign the shortcut. In this case we use f15 (use some way to simulate it, if it is not presented on the keyboard).
Start VS Codium
Use vs codium in X11 mode. This is because I currently do not know how to get active window class in wayland.
Result
Now if you middle click in vscodium window, it will receive the sequence of input that leads to enabling/disabling breakpoint. In any other window, the middle click will behave as normal.
There is debug.enableOrDisableBreakpoint in codium, but toggling that with shortcut only works when the cursor is on the line with breakpoint. I did not found a way to move cursor to the line where you pressed (method to get the mouse over line?). So I made that complex thing with ydotool choose_press.sh.
I also tried to start stop kbct by window activation, but that is unfortunately broken in kde wayland currently.
Is there the option to "execute snippets" right away in vscode, meaning without having to press tab? This is really the only thing holding me back from vscode because in vim I can simply configure it, so e.g. if I have a snippet which gets triggered if I type test it automatically replaces test by the snippet content without having to press any extra key like tab. Is this possible in vscode?
I want to make a custom GUI button for a specific keyboad command in vscode. I have read a related question's answer here. But it didn't answer about making a separate GUI button.
Suppose, I want to make a GUI button to run tasks.json whose keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+B.
How can I achieve this?
Is it possible to call VSC commands (the ones you enter after pressing SHIFT-CMD-P) from the terminal?
Like selecting a certain view in the activity bar and so on…
