✨ NEW ✨ // Background: true

beta.12 brings in the ability to start/stop background tasks.

Using // Background :true at the top of your script will change the behavior in the main menu:

// Background: true

setInterval(() => {}, 1000) //Some long-running process

Auto (like nodemon)

// Background: auto

setInterval(() => {}, 1000) //Some long-running process

Using auto, after you start the script, editing will stop/restart the script.
