This is the gear icon the documentation referred to… not the best, but it’s also a bit hard to describe since it’s a nested menu type option thingy.

It think the underlying issue is that custom tasks are broken again? Although I’m also probably doing something wrong as the VSCode tasks are like greek to me…
i.e.
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "PlatformIO",
"task": "Build",
"problemMatcher": [
"$platformio"
],
"group": "build",
"presentation": {
"panel": "new"
}
}
]
}
results in a toast saying that there are task errors, with this log output
Error: The PlatformIO task detection didn't contribute a task for the following configuration:
{
"type": "PlatformIO",
"task": "Build",
"problemMatcher": [
"$platformio"
],
"group": "build"
}
The task will be ignored.
