Just a question,
If I have a script serve which starts a server at localhost:3000, for example.
How will I be able to stop the server?

@predragnikolic Right now I am not sure if there is a way I can handle that from the plugin itself (I'll look into it). As a workaround, you can define a keybinding as follows :-

{
	"keys": ["ctrl+alt+6"],
	"command": "exec",
	"args": {
		"kill": true,
	},
}

which should kill the running server when the exec command is running. If you are using terminus however, this is not required as you can press ctrl + c in the terminus build panel and kill the server.

Thanks :-)
