How to Set a Keyboard Shortcut to "Terminate Running Task" in VSCode?

Question

I have my build run my application until I kill it. This works fine, but it would be nice to bind "Terminate Running Tasks" to a keyboard shortcut. Is this possible?

Answer 1

All the commands are listed when you go to change a key binding, so you can add something like this to the user settings:

[
    { "key": "shift+cmd+s", "command": "workbench.action.tasks.terminate" } 
]

You could also just write exit in the terminal and that would kill it. Just keep in mind that this might not work on everything but it's worth a try ;)
