Multiple commands/tasks with Visual Studio Code

Question

I have a local folder that I use as a scratch pad for multiple little sample and toy pieces of code. I store a host of python, C++, shell scripts etc. in this directory.

Answer 1

I made this script.

It requires that you install python IDLE in your environment. This will open the IDLE and run your python file each time you run your task (CTRL+Shift+B).

{
    "version": "0.1.0",             
    "command": "/usr/bin/idle",
    "isShellCommand": false,
    "showOutput": "never",
    "args": ["-r","${file}"]    
}
