Description
Request Overview
When working on Makefile based project, I would like better integration with Visual Studio code. For example, it should be able to build the project using the typical Ctrl+Shift+B shortcut, and should integrate the build (and other actions in the make file, eg. clean, etc.) into the tasks system of Visual Studio Code. This seems to be not possible at the moment, which makes the usefulness of this extension rather limited.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the extension currently exposes Makefile actions such as build and clean, then compare that behavior with VS Code's tasks system and the Ctrl+Shift+B shortcut. Done means defining and implementing a clear integration for the requested actions, with verification that they appear and run through VS Code tasks.
