Hi, i have custom cmake configurations in my project. I have managed to make a selection trough “CMake: Select Configure Preset”. Unfortunately it is really easy to debug wrong configuration on debug launch, as you have to remember to switch configuration from command palette.

Hi ​@pr.tsmaz,

I apologize for the bad experience; you are indeed encountering a known limitation of the tool.

It is tracked internally, but I cannot share any ETA for delivering the change.
