These changes make it easier for contributors to build, debug, and iterate on both native and managed components of PowerToys within VS Code. **VS Code integration and developer workflow:** * Added `.vscode/launch.json` with configurations for launching and attaching to native (`PowerToys.exe`) and managed (`PowerToys.Settings.exe`) processes, supporting both C++ and .NET debugging scenarios. * Introduced `doc/devdocs/development/dev-with-vscode.md`, a detailed guide covering VS Code setup, building, debugging, and common developer workflows for the PowerToys project. This includes extension recommendations, shell integration, sample build commands, and troubleshooting tips. <!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well --> ## Validation Steps Performed Can debug locally in vscode --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
