When I execute a file in VS Code by pressing “Shift+Enter” the cursor jumps to the end of the file. How can I avoid this behavior?

Shift+Enter doesn’t evaluate the file, it evaluates the current cell (delimited e.g. by `##`) and moves to the next one. Use the `Julia: Execute File` command to eval the file instead; consider assigning a keybinding yourself or use [the Juno-compatible keybindings](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/wiki/Keyboard-shortcuts#replicating-juno-shortcuts) instead (these might also be the [new default in the next version](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/pull/1785)).

Thank you.  
It is strange that there is no default key combination for this purpose.
