Thanks for the feedback.

The CMake: Build Target command is named cmake.buildWithTarget, thus the following keybindings.json entry should bind that key:

{
    "key": "shift+f7",
    "command": "cmake.buildWithTarget"
}

Of course you can use whatever key combination you like.

At the moment, the default build command always builds the all target, but I'm planning on adding a way to change the target that will be invoked with the build command, whether that be an entry in settings.json or some per-session variable.

Since install is a common target to use, I may just add another command that invokes the install target.

I'll eventually update the README.md with more details about what the extension can do.

As a side note, all commands available for binding (including the cmake.* ones) are listed in the Default Keyboard Shortcuts view as a lengthy comment toward the bottom of the file.

Brilliant, thanks for the speedy reply. I hadn't noticed the cmake commands were at the bottom of keybindings.json file.

One more thing - is there a way to automatically clear the output panel before building? I can't see any keybinding that sounds likely. The only way seems to be to actually click the 'Clear Output' button.

At the moment, no. But I am planning on adding a "Clear output before build" setting that can be enabled.

Great, I'm looking forward to it. I'll close this Issue now - do you want another one titled "Clear output before build" that can be marked as an Enhancement request?

[vector-of-bool]

Sure, that would be helpful. Thanks!
