F5 is the default but you can set your own keyboard shortcuts from the File->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts menu

There appears to be no way to bind a keyboard shortcut for running an arbitrary task. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/6550

By default F5 is "continue debugging," but debugging is limited to Node, so I don't think that's what I want.

Incidentally my MBP has no F5 key :)

There are debugging extensions for environments beyond Node.

Also, Ctrl+Shift+B is the default shortcut for whatever arbitrary task you have set as your Build Task in .vscode/tasks.json.

There are debug adapters for tons of languages available through extensions. I use the C++ and Python debuggers regularly and love them :)
