Description

Hello,

I am working in a legacy codebase where the clean target name is cleanall instead of the standard clean.
While I can invoke it manually, it means the "Build clean" command does not do the rhigt thing (tm).

Would it be possible to make the clean target into a workspace setting?

The same logic could also apply to the all target.

Kind regards,

My VSCode setup:

Research direction

Start by locating the Build clean command and the workspace settings that control Makefile Tools behavior. Determine how the clean and all target names are currently selected; done means both target names can be configured per workspace and the corresponding commands use those settings.
