Description
Hi, I want to add a shortcut for cargo build in vscode. But I need to open terminal and cd to the project root, configured in keybindings.json. How to I get the project root path in vscode keybindings.json? Is there a rust-analyzer.xxx variable for this?

Research direction
Start with VS Code's keybindings.json variable-substitution documentation and rust-analyzer's documentation, then check whether a project-root variable is available. Document the supported way to run cargo build from the project root, or clarify that no rust-analyzer variable exists and whether a separate feature request is needed.
