How to add a run button in visual studio code?

Install the Task Runner extension. Now, every task you add to tasks.json will be displayed as a button, in the 'Task runner' panel (which is normally on the same tab as the file explorer).

Here's a decent tasks.json template:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "COMMAND NAME",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "YOUR COMMAND HERE",
            "presentation": {"echo": true, "reveal": "always", "focus": false, "panel": "shared", "showReuseMessage": false, "clear": true},
        },
        // More tasks here, if you need them.
    ]
}

Put this file in your project directory, in a directory called .vscode. Open the project directory with "File" -> "Open Folder".

VSCode: Cannot Seem to Find Run Button to Run Javascript Code

Check that you have the Code Runner extension enabled. The Extensions marketplace is accessible through the fifth button down on the toolbar.

If it is installed and enabled, you should see a Run button on the top-right of the tab bar.

Your code is not recognized because the file does not have a .js file extension. You can either change the extension so that it is recognized, or find the "Plain Text" indicator at the bottom-right in the status bar, and manually select "Javascript".

What use is Visual Studio Compile button?

How can I add a toolbar button to start an .exe file from Visual Studio 2010?

Add the application as an "External Tool", using Tools... > External Tools. Take note of where your entry was added to the list; on a stock vs2010, that would be entry #5.

Click the mini drop-down button on the right side of your toolbar and select Add or Remove Buttons > Customize...

Click Add Command..., select the Tools category on the left, then External Command N on the right, where N is the entry number from the External Tools dialog.

Adding a Visual Studio toolbar button for a command that is only available as a keyboard shortcut

Add a macro that executes the command, then add the macro to a toolbar.

This works because it makes the keyboard-only command appear in the Macros menu in the Customize Commands dialog.

Details

Add a macro which does this:

    Sub _ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode()
        DTE.ExecuteCommand("ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode")
    End Sub

Put this macro in a module which appears in Customize..Commands..AddCommand..Categories..Macros, such as Samples or MyMacros.RecordingModule, but not MyMacros.Module1 (the default when using the macro IDE).

Go to Tools..Customize..Command and select the Toolbar you want.

Now Add Command... and select the Macros category.

Select your Macros.Samples._ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode macro.

Click Modify Selection and change the name to #-) or whatever text makes you think ReSharper Silent Code Cleanup without being too long for your toolbar. :-)

I tried this with Visual Studio 2010 and ReSharper 7.1.2.

Edit

Visual Commander is a apparently way to get this going on VS2012 as well - see comments below for more.

How to add custom button to Visual Studio Output Window toolbar

1) It is really possible. It looks like any toolbar and any menu could be extended by any command.

2) The method of extending is the same for all toolbars (and menu). What you need to know is toolbar's ID. ID could be found in file vsshlids.h placed in your installed VSSDK inc folder. For output window toolbar this ID is IDM_VS_TOOL_OUTPUTWINDOW.
