Option to place "Start Debugging" control in Command Center #233909

I love having the Debug Toolbar within the Command Center. Since it only appears while debugging, it would be helpful to have the "Start Debugging" control appear in its place when not debugging. This would eliminate the need to switch to the Run and Debug pane, making the workflow more convenient.

Here's a visual for what I'm suggesting:

Thank you!

Do you know about "debug.showInStatusBar": "always" as a way of always having a statusbar shortcut that primes Command Center to let you lick a configuration and run it?

You can also type debug into Command Center directly.

Thanks, I didn't know about this! It still isn't as convenient as a single click to start the debugger, but at least I don't have to change to the Debugger pane.

I develop in Visual Studio extensively as well, so I'm used to the convenience of the Start Debugging button persisted at the top next to other debugger controls.
