Visual Studio Code – Vscode: always running the same python file when pressing the run button

By default the run button always runs the file you’re currently viewing, and it’s annoying because most of the time I don’t want that: I’ll be editing another file and then want to run my main.py file, so instead I have to go in the main file and then execute it. How can I change this?
I tried looking online but couldn’t find anything useful.

    Create a launch.json file in the Run and Debug panel, and then replace the configuration "program": "${file}", with "program": "./main.py",.

    enter image description here

    File structure

    pytest11
|-.venv
|-.vscode
| |-launch.json
|-demo.py
|-main.py

    launch.json

    {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "./main.py",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": true
        }
    ]
}

    Then select Run Without Debugging, or use the shortcut key Ctrl+F5to run the code.

    In here, may have several python terminals. Close all and compile again.
