Killercoda Exec Blocks

A VSCode extension for running Killercoda {{exec}} blocks straight from Markdown.

What it does

Killercoda scenarios mark runnable commands by following a fenced code block's closing fence with a {{exec}} directive. This extension detects those blocks in any Markdown file and floats a ▶ Run in terminal action (a CodeLens) above each one — sending the command to the active terminal (creating a Killercoda terminal if none exists). A ⧉ Copy action sits next to it.

• ▶ Run in terminal above every {{exec}} and {{exec interrupt}} block.
• {{exec interrupt}} blocks send Ctrl-C before running.
• Command palette: Killercoda: Run All Exec Blocks in Terminal runs every block top to bottom.
• Toggle the actions via the killercodaExec.enableCodeLens and killercodaExec.showCopyAction settings.
