Add ability to disable switching to the Debug pane on F5 about f5anything HOT 3 CLOSED

It switches for me too and I agree it's an annoyance. It looks like there's a VSCode setting for this you can put in your project's settings.json:

{
    "debug.openDebug": "neverOpen",
}

That stops the auto switching for me. Hopefully works for you too @fatcerberus (maybe @spectreseven1138 already has that set).

Though I realize having this builtin and specific to F5Anything would be more ideal. If there's a desire for that feel free to comment/open another issue and I may be able to look into it.

(Curiously "debug.openDebug": "openOnDebugBreak" is also an option but it does still switch, even though F5Anything doesn't use breakpoints, so I'm not sure what's going on there.)

Yeah, I did end up finding that setting after I posted the issue. The default is openOnDebugBreak so I was very confused why it was still switching. If F5Anything could do something to prevent that, that’d be great, but if not I can deal with the settings.json fix for now.

This doesn't happen for me, pressing F5 doesn't switch the pane at all, both with this extension and another launch type I tried. This may be a bug, or something VSCode itself allows changing (although I couldn't find anything).
