The ``OS Commands`` tool supports invocation of external commands for building, deploying,
or other tasks. You can define commands, specify their runtime environment, and set key
bindings for them.

To configure a command to be run as a build before any code is debugged or executed, use
the `Build Command <script:view_project_properties#highlighted_attrib="proj.build-cmd">`__
field in ``Project Properties``.

See `OS Commands <ref:oscommands/index>`__ for details.
