How can I configure debug or "run without debugging" in CMake Tools (VS Code)

Is there a way to configure what happens when I press "Launch selected target without debugging" command in CMakeTools in VSCode?

My problem is that the target is launched but it doesn't pick up the config file I specified in my launch.json for the Debug configuration:

launch.json:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "type": "lldb",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${command:cmake.launchTargetPath}",
            "args": [
                "/home/<myuser>/dev/my_api_conf.ini"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "preLaunchTask": "${defaultBuildTask}",
            "initCommands": [   "command source ${workspaceRoot}/.lldbinit"]
        }
    ]
}

Use the cmake.debugConfig setting (docs). I think it uses the same schema as the cppdbg launch configuration type. You can use it in your workspace .vscode/settings.json file, or your user settings.json file. I noticed this setting thanks to this comment in a historically related issue ticket. For some reason, at the time of this writing, this setting is not mentioned in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/blob/main/docs/debug-launch.md. I'm not sure if anything from this applies to running without debugging, but it's definitely used with the CMake: Debug command / action.

If you want to use your launch config, then you will have to use the keyboard shortcut / command / button for running with that launch config- not the button provided by CMake Tools. Ex. the button in the Run and Debug View, or the Debug: Start Without Debugging command in the command palette (instead of the CMake: Run Without Debugging command).

If you want different targets to have different launch configurations, see In CMake Tools, how to have different args for launching different targets?.
