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

Question

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

How do I stop the server without closing and restarting VSCode?

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.

Works perfectly. But I am using code runner for dart, When i run the code in terminal it uses the entire path of the file, while the terminal is already opened in the project directory. This is causing the process to be slow. Is there a way to just use the path with respect to the project directory? – DaniyalAhmadSE Oct 02 '20 at 10:41
That's a good question, and one I don't yet know the answer to. I would suggest that you create a new question and ask it there so that it gets more visibility and has more chance to help others. – Mihai Chelaru Oct 02 '20 at 12:34

Mihai Chelaru has already answered the question, but I just wanted to let everyone know that by changing from Ctrl + Alt + M to e.g. Ctrl + Alt + B, the code run does stop.

Was it also not working with Ctrl + Alt + M for you? Do you know why this happens? – Mihai Chelaru Feb 09 '21 at 20:25

@MihaiChelaru Yes, it wasn't working for me with Ctrl + Alt + M. I haven't investigated the issue, so I don't know why that happens. – asymmetryFan Feb 10 '21 at 09:22
@asymmetryFan I changed the bindings to `ctrl` + `alt` + `B` for **coderunner** _stop code_ and it still isn't working. – 0_0perplexed Jul 15 '22 at 08:44
@0_0perplexed Strange. Unfortunately, I can't help. Maybe ask a new question or something? – asymmetryFan Jul 16 '22 at 11:48

For accepting input you should do the below setting otherwise, it will show code is running

Go to the setting and type 'code runner'

scroll down a little bit, find this 'code-runner: run in terminal' and check this. Restart VsCode.

Check the pictures I attach :)

You can use these methods to solve your problem:

Press Ctr+Alt+M to clear your previous output and then run the code again.
You can go to the bottom left of your VS Code page and click on Settings (a gear icon) and select Settings. Then type "code runner" and select the first option "Clear the previous output." That's it.
