When using the "external tool" way to build my project, i see only one way to have a shortcut to start the build. Binding the "run last launched external tool" to a key.

It would be nice to have a fixed key combination to start a fixed build. Also it is important for me to have several different build targets available in the same project.

Have i overseen the obvious way of doing this?

Before answering, remember Descent has forums:

I don't know if this is the right place to ask all questions about Descent. Maybe it is? :)

I think the "external tool" thing is pretty limited, I don't know if you can assign shortcuts to it, have many build targets, etc.

Do you need to compile all the build targets at the same time, or one at a time is enough?

Not at the same time. There may be subprojects in a single source tree. Unfortunately the build take some time (10 sec), so i can't (don't want) to run them all in sequence, especially if i am not working on the other subprojects.
