Where is my 'build' button up on my vscode?

Question

Trying to create a new .keystore in my app, I realized that my vscode's build button just doesn't exist anymore, something like that happened with someone else here, if so, how did you manage to generate a .keystore?

I have only "File Edit Selection View Go Run Terminal Help" up on my vscode. Where's the Build between Go and Run?

Not sure how your build button disappeared, but normally in vscode, to build your code, you need to define a build task in .vscode\tasks.json for the type of code you want to build, for example, to build .net Core:

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "build",
            "command": "dotnet",
            "type": "shell",
            "args": [
                "build",
                // Ask dotnet build to generate full paths for file names.
                "/property:GenerateFullPaths=true",
                // Do not generate summary otherwise it leads to duplicate errors in Problems panel
                "/consoleloggerparameters:NoSummary"
            ],
            "group": "build",
            "presentation": {
                "reveal": "silent"
            },
            "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
        }
    ]
}

Press Ctrl+Shift+B or running Run Build Task from the global Terminal menu
