Inline Run to Cursor

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=volsa.vscode-inline-run-to-cursor

Inline Run to Cursor is a VS Code extension that displays a convenient button to run to the current line when in debug mode. While VS Code provides such functionality, it's quite tedious from a UX perspective, as you have to either:

• Memorize a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F10 / Cmd+F10)
• Right-click, find the context menu item, and click on it
• Create a temporary breakpoint, continue execution, then remove the breakpoint

This extension simplifies the workflow by showing an inline button you can simply click to run to that line. If you come from an IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA or Visual Studio, this feature should feel familiar and natural.
