Feature request: Add command for generating a tasks.json file

[ppey]

I would like to see, that I can generate a task.json just like the launch.json in ordert to trigger "go run" on the current file. This would allow to quickly run the file by pressing Ctrl+ shift + B without running the whole debugger.

While that would be a good idea, if you just want to run a specific file maybe try Code Runner.

Tasks would be more suitable for package building / management.

We are trying to get the "Run without actually debugging" feature as described in microsoft/vscode#2780

#299 is tracking this work.

With this, you won't need a task to run the current package.

In the latest update (0.6.56), you can
- Press Ctrl+F5 or run the command Debug: Start Without Debugging to run using the currently selected launch configuration.
- If you don't have a launch.json file, then the current file will be run.
- Supported only for launch configs with type as debug and program that points to a Go file and not package

Great, thank you!
