If you don't want to rebuild the application during flashing, you can now use the skipBuild argument to do this.
Here is an example of the configuration items:
{
"nrf-connect.applicationOptions": {
"/path/to/your/application": {
"flash": {
"softreset": true,
"skipBuild": true
}
}
}
}
The path specifier supports variable substitution, so you can use ${workspaceFolder} to replace the root of your workspace, allowing you to create portable settings for your project.
