<p dir="auto">When hitting various breakpoints in a complicated program, it might be helpful for the stack frame area of the debug viewlet to highlight / animate in a tasteful fashion the stack frame delta.</p>
<p dir="auto">e.g.</p>
<p dir="auto">Before stack<br>
fileA:35<br>
fileB:40<br>
fileC:50</p>
<p dir="auto">-&gt; steps into or continues</p>
<p dir="auto">After stack<br>
fileA:29<br>
fileA:35<br>
fileB:40<br>
fileC:50</p>
<p dir="auto">Would be nice if fileA:29 would be briefly and tastefully highlighted.</p>
<p dir="auto">In the <code class="notranslate">tasks.json</code> configuration file, you can specify a task to be defined as a watch task by stating <code class="notranslate">isWatching: true</code>.  I don't believe I see any benefit to explicitly stating that a task is a watch task.</p>
<p dir="auto">What I believe would be useful is if the watch task defined in <code class="notranslate">tasks.json</code> is actually started automatically by VS Code upon opening the workspace.</p>
<p dir="auto">From what I can tell, currently you need to explicitly start your watch task <code class="notranslate">task &lt;watch-task-name&gt;</code>.</p>
