launch.json not used when debugging from the bottom toolbar or from the cmake target context menu ?

[neundorf]

I have created a launch.json, and VS Code uses it when I start debugging via the "Run and debug" tab, there I can select the configuration I want and it is used properly.
But when I start debugging via the debug button in the bottom status bar, or via the "Debug" entry in the context menu of a target in the cmake tab, this launch configuration is not used. I tried setting the working debug configuration via a "default" entry, but this also didn't work.
How can I make this work ?

Below is my launch.json. Are there other settings which influence this ? Maybe in the cmake tools or somewhere ?

            "visualizerFile": "${workspaceFolder}/qt5.natvis.xml"
        }

    ],
    "default": "(msvc) Launch"
}

The buttons added by the CMake Tools extension are not part of the default VS Code workflow and are a way for folks to get a "quick debugging" experience without configuring launch.json. You can hide the status bar button with the cmake.statusbar.advanced setting.
