In VS Code, how do you stop code that is running via the Code Runner extension?

I'm running a python flask server locally by clicking the run button in VS Code (provided by the Code Runner extension).

How do I stop the server without closing and restarting VS Code?

Solution

  • From the Code Runner extension marketplace page, you have the following options:

    To stop the running code:

    • use shortcut Ctrl + Alt + M
    • or press F1 and then select/type Stop Code Run
    • or right click the Output Channel and then click Stop Code Run in context menu

    YMMV with the Ctrl + Alt + M shortcut, which does not work for me for some reason.
