Almost, but not quite.

To enable this hit Ctrl+kCtrl+s (at least this is the default shortcut on windows, you can always search for 'keybindings' in the command palette if this doesn't work for you).

Search for the workbench.action.debug.selectandstart command then right-click or click the edit icon to change the keybinding:
