In Visual Studio, you can press Ctrl+F5 to launch the application without a debugger attached, which i befinicial for performance reasons. For VS Code this would be very helpful, because you don't always want to actually debug a file or actually cannot because there is no debug adapter extension out there yet. Currently, you have to define a "launch" task, which cannot get a keyboard shortcut. Having "Launch without debugging" would be much more semantically correct.
