How to edit your command list:
VSCode -> File -> Preferences -> Settings
It will show the list: [Text Editor, Workbench, Window, Features, Application, Extension].
Click on "Extensions", Scroll down and click on "Run Terminal Command..." -> Edit in Settings.Json
Or just open and edit directly the file:
C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\Settings.Json
Now you can edit the commands you want:
"runTerminalCommand.commands": [
{
"command": "npm start",
"name": "Start Node.JS",
},
{
"command": "ndb server.js",
"auto": true,
"group": "Node.JS",
