Keyboard shortcut for the RUN button when using VS Code with Java?

I use VS Code with the Extension Pack for Java.

When I am in a Java project I have a RUN button at the top right of the window:

Run Button in VS Code

I could not find a keyboard short cut or an entry in the "Show All Commands" list for it.

Is there a way to activate this Java RUN button with a keyboard shortcut? (I'm happy to set up my own shortcut if needed.)
