Flutter Simulator-Choice Button gone in VSCode

Very silly question but one that I kept spending my sweet time already:

How do I get back the simulator-choice-button inside my VSCode StatusBar (blue bottom bar).

I don't know what unwantedly pressed shortcut made it go away.

It used to sit here (see red box in picture below), next to the feedback-smiley.

There used to be a button that opened an extra window where I was able to choose my simulator or emulators. But that button is gone for some reason, even tough I have open simulators and emulators available.

BUT NOW THE BUTTON IS GONE. HOW DO I GET IT BACK ??????

Also, I used to be able to press F5 to run the project. But that does now work anymore either !

Instead, I can only run my flutter project from within VSCode when I type "flutter run" into my VSCode-terminal. What is wrong here ?

If I press F5, it just shows me the following error message:

lib/main.dart:1: Warning: Interpreting this as package URI, 'package:chunder/main.dart'.

Any help appreciated !

The text "Dart from Flutter" in the status bar shows when the project you open is not detected as as Flutter project (but rather just a standard Dart project), but the Dart SDK being used is the one embedded in the Flutter SDK.

The usual causes for this are that the folder you've opened in VS Code is not a Flutter project itself (for example, maybe you opened the parent folder, and the Flutter project is in a sub-folder).

This has been made better in recent releases (we'll look inside the first level of children), but if you're still seeing it, please open an issue on GitHub and we can try to improve it further. Thanks!
