Triggering Build and Hot reload on Editor

Feature requests
#1

It would be nice to have a way for triggering Build and Hot reloading on Editor(not with bob). Then we can use it for 3th party IDEs

How can you build and run from VSCode?

Meanwhile I’m sending keystrokes to the Editor on Windows from Atom using this Autohotkey script:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe atom.exe
^+b::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WinActivate, Defold Editor
Send, ^b
return

#IfWinActive ahk_exe atom.exe
^+r::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WinActivate, Defold Editor
Send, ^r
return

Ctrl+Shift+B : Sends a Ctrl+B (Build) to Defold Editor.
Ctrl+Shift+R : Sends a Ctrl+R (Hot reload) to Defold Editor.

Maybe helpful for someone.
Change ‘atom.exe’ for other editors, like ‘code.exe’ for Visual Studio Code.
