	"quickRunInTerminal.Cpp_compilerPath": "g++",
	// Python
	"quickRunInTerminal.Python_interpreterPath": "python",
	// Rust

Lets say you want to use python3 instade of python as interpreter.

• go to settings.
• search quick run in terminal.
• Find the section where says Quick Run In Terminal: Python_interpreter Path.
• set that to python3 as python interpreter.

For C/C++ find Quick Run In Terminal: C_compiler Path or Quick Run In Terminal: C_compiler Path to gcc/clang/g++/cc or whatever.

Examples

{
	"quickRunInTerminal.Python_interpreterPath": "/home/user/bin/python3",
	"quickRunInTerminal.Python_interpreterPath": "python3",
	"quickRunInTerminal.Cpp_compilerPath": "/usr/g++",
	"quickRunInTerminal.C_compilerPath": "clang"
}

NOTE: It says path but if the program is accessable from anywhere then you can just put program name.
