Issue Type: Bug

I've set a User Default Build Task with those lines:

"group": {
    "kind": "build",
    "isDefault": true
}

so that I can press ctrl+shit+B to launch the compiler and skip the annoying drop down menu.
But when I configure a Workspace Default Build Task and press the shortcut, it only launches the User's task and ignores the Workspace settings.
The only way I've found to make it work is to not set the build task to default in the User's file, which is annoying because I'm losing the default configuration for projects relying on the User's settings.
Any workaround? or am I doing something wrong?

If you have multiple isDefault build tasks, then we should be showing you a picker to choose which build task you want.

On second thought, if you have one isDefault build task in your folder tasks.json and one in your user tasks.json, we should just run the one in your folder tasks.json.

Similarly, if you have one isDefault build tasks in your workspace file and one in your user tasks.json we should just run the one in your workspace file.
