Hot Restart (previously Full restart) in Flutter VS Code whilst debugging
When debugging you can press Ctrl+F5 for a full restart, or you can run the Flutter: Full Restart command from the VS Code's command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P for macOS).
Note: In the next version (v2.13.0, which there's a beta of available) "Full Restart" has been renamed to "Hot Restart" to better reflect how it works (this is happening across the other Flutter tools and docs too).
