   I have an idea for this. Basically what I was thinking was creating a command that will act as a `launch.json` config wizard.
   
   So would create a new command, something like `launch.config`, and add an icon for it up in the toolbar like the hex and infoset commands. Not sure what icon to use maybe just a gear icon?
   
   Whenever the command is ran via command palette or by clicking on the toolbar icon, the user will be prompted with different input items:
   - A file picker to select the file to be used for program and data
   - A quick picker with either `true` or `false` for the boolean launch variables, eg `useExistingServer`, `stopOnEntry`. - A input box for other more specific values like `debugServer`
   
   Once all the inputs are retrieved the command will output the json to `.vscode/launch.json`. Everytime this command is ran the `launch.json` would be overwritten with the newly given information.
   
   Would this be a good approach? I have a little bit of code going for it now but for to put this up earlier
