Research direction

Start by checking how VS Code's F5 and Ctrl+F5 keybindings can invoke the existing “Rust Analyzer: Run” and “Rust Analyzer: Debug” commands. Verify the behavior in a Rust project, including both shortcuts, and confirm that each launches the intended command without requiring manual command-palette use.
