Ability to stop task

[iamelevich]

I want to have ability to manually stop the task. And see the list of currently running tasks.

For example I can stop long running task in terminal by Ctrl + C, but did not found a way to stop task started by VSCode extension.

Right now I need to find and kill that process, that only way that I found to stop the task.

+1, this applies to running tasks with "outputTo": "output"

I'm not familiar with VS Code extension interface but would it be possible to attach a new terminal to every task? Then it should be easy to find the terminal and ctrl-C the according task there.
Even nicer would be to integrate it into extension and mark running tasks as running with a stop button. Is it possible?

good idea, Is there anyone can implement this feature? i can only use config "outputTo": "terminal" for stop tasks

Fixed by #233. The new task runner will only output tasks in one way and it will be cancellable with CTRL+C or equivalent
