Description

Feature Request

Whenever I cancel process selection after launching an attach configuration which specifies ${command:pickProcess} as a process id the "Process not selected" popup appears. For me this window is quite annoying since I cancel selection quite frequently.

It would be nice at least to be able to suppress "Process not selected" via some setting.

Research direction

Search the extension for the exact “Process not selected” text and the handling of ${command:pickProcess} in attach configurations. Trace cancellation from process selection to the popup and identify the existing settings path; done means cancellation can suppress the dialog when configured while normal behavior remains available.
