Description

When creating a tutorial with the extension, I specified that I wanted to make a tutorial in "MakeCode for the micro:bit", but when I ran the tutorial in the preview, it opened in MakeCode Arcade. It would be really nice that if a user specifies which target they want to create a tutorial in, the MakeCode agent would modify the VSCode settings to set the target to the correct one.
