Description

Type: Feature Request

One of the things I like about the Mac Visual Studio is how it has the easy build, debug and publish options.

  • Very clear play,pause,stop button at the top

  • Breadcrumb style option list for the launch settings and app settings

  • Clear target debug browser option

  • Clear build complete display. The ouput on c#Dev Kit in the terminal is not that clear.

Could the run and debug that exists when you do go to debug and the overing little control be turned into a proper perminant (or otpion to keep on) bar with the controls here and similar features from visual studio (mac).
It needs to be clear so you know what build mode your on and so on and better and clearer publish options.

Research direction

Start with the existing run and debug controls in C# Dev Kit and the build output shown in the terminal. Compare those entry points with the requested permanent controls, launch and app settings, target browser selection, clearer build completion display, and publish options; done means the build, debug, and publish workflow is clearer and easier to access.
