How to Show Code Runner Shortcut In VS Code

Question

How can I show the Code Runner shortcut in Visual Studio Code if I mistakenly hid it?"

I was using Visual Studio Code and I accidentally hid the Code Runner shortcut. Is there a way to show it again? I have tried searching in the keyboard shortcuts settings but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated (P.S I Know Many Of You will Say Use a Shortcut Key, or Reinstall the CodeRunner & VS Code But All Is Not Working)

Make sure that you enabled your "Code Runner" extension
Go to the top right corner of VS Code to find a button that looks like three dots (...)
Right click on it and press "Run Code"
The Run Code button should reappear now

Do you mean whether there's a shortcut to hide and show the "Run Code" button icon? – AnsonH Feb 02 '23 at 04:10

@AnsonH's answer is most likely the solution you need:

Make sure that you enabled your "Code Runner" extension

Go to the top right corner of VS Code to find a button that looks like three dots (...)

Right click on it and press "Run Code"

The Run Code button should reappear now

But there's a chance you accidentally messed with the code-runner.showRunIconInEditorTitleMenu (accidentally set it to false), in which case you just need to remove the line that sets it to false from your settings.json files, or set it to true explicitly.
