Description
Similar to
- #16239
I would appreciate it if there was a option to automatically pause rust-analyzer when a build process is run, to prevent "waiting for file lock on build directory" or competing for CPU if a separate build directory is set.
This would allow a user to choose to prioritise building the application/example over r-a, which is helpful for faster iteration times.
