Description

For example I have a python file opened. I want to press a hotkey and it would instantly run this python file.

If for example I had a go file opened. I press the same hotkey and it would run this go file.

Thank you for any help.

Research direction
Open VSCode's keybindings.json (Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)) and add a custom keybinding for the 'code runner.run' command. For example: { "key": "ctrl+alt+n", "command": "code runner.run" }. Alternatively, use language specific run commands like 'code runner.runInTerminal'.
