This allows you to define custom actions such as run or build and append them to a status bar button in vscode.

You can define a custom action to build a rust project like so.

• Search for VsCode Action Buttons in the extensions store.

• After installing, type ctrl + shift + p and open up work space settings.

• Now you can define, your action buttons. Below is a sample.

• Now Reload.

	"actionButtons": {
   	 "defaultColor": "#ff0034", // Can also use string color names.
   	 "loadNpmCommands":false, // Disables automatic generation of actions for npm commands.
   	 "reloadButton":"♻️", // Custom reload button text or icon (default ↻). null value enables automatic reload on configuration change
   	 "commands": [
   		 {
   			 "cwd": "/home/custom_folder", 	// Terminal initial folder ${workspaceFolder} and os user home as defaults
   			 "name": "Run Cargo",
   			 "color": "green",
   			 "singleInstance": true,
   			 "command": "cargo run ${file}", // This is executed in the terminal.
   		 },
   		 {
   			 "name": "Build Cargo",
   			 "color": "green",
   			 "command": "cargo build ${file}",
   		 }
   	 ]
    }

If you open an existing project and want to set up action buttons for that workspace.

• Define the action buttons in your workspace settings.
• Then, click on Refresh Action Buttons in the status bar
• You Should now see the action buttons on the status bar :).
