I find it annoying having to close windows produced by Python's
matplotlib.pyplotbefore running the code again.So I created this keyboard shortcut:
{ "key": "f5", "command": "runCommands", "args": { "commands": [ "code-runner.stop", "code-runner.run", ] }, },But the
runcommands was being executed too soon - before previous process fully closed - so the new process could not be registered correctly. The result was that new processes (matplotlibwindows) would spawn every time I pressedF5.So I created
stopWaitcommand that waits for the process to emit"close"event after it receives the kill signal.It is a drop-in replacement for the
stopcommand in the shortcut:{ "key": "f5", "command": "runCommands", "args": { "commands": [ "code-runner.stopWait", "code-runner.run", ] }, },I'm using Python as an example here but this should work for any programming language that waits for anything when run (i.e. user input, network request).
