Add shortcut to run the current test (at cursor position) #12218
Description
While writing a new test, the test has to be run multiple times so it would be nice to have a shortcut to run the test we are working on (the one at the position of the cursor).
An alternative is a shortcut to run the last run test.
The extension Test Explorer has this option, but given that the native python extension already provides many shortcuts to run tests, it does not make sense to install another extension just for this feature.

We can add a shortcut to execute the "Run test" code lens containing block.

This is addressed by #16769. It introduces a "Test: Rerun Last Run" command, which can be bind to a keyboard shortcut 😊
