Description
I know there is a shortcut called "rust-analyzer.run", but that opens a window for running a few options. However, there are a few problems I have with the options. The main one being that if my cursor is not in the main function, I cannot select to run the code.
I would like a shortcut that runs a file as seen below, but without needing to click it
