Issue: Let compound launch configs be the default
Labels: feature-request,debug

Type: <b>Bug</b>

We have a launch.json file as shown below.  When we launch either of "App: All" entries, the VSCode debugging system turns on but none of the apps are actually launched.  We can launch them individually, but we cannot get them to launch together anymore.  This did work previously.

Side note: we added "App: All" to the configurations array too because the compounds entries are sorted to the bottom of the launch dropdown, and we want "App: All" to be listed first to more easily run the app.  It would be nice if compounds appeared first, or if there was a way to specify a default entry.

        {
            "name": "App: All",

                "App: Backend",
                "App: Client"
            ],
            "stopAll": true
        }
    ],
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",

            "request": "launch"
        },
        {
            "name": "App: Backend",
            "type": "node-terminal",
            "request": "launch",

        },

            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/client"
        }
    ]
}
