I realized later you might want the TODO changed, see below.

Now done. Does the non-GUI option override the filetype run command? I mentioned keybinding in the item because it's more flexible as a different command.

Even with the overriding, a GUI option would still be nice. I'm now preferring a Build/Run notebook tab split rather than filetype/independent. That way we can avoid a subnotebook for the project dialog.

It might not require many changes to allow this, not sure.

I don't think the TODO requires dynamic keybindings though.

It is sometimes out of date or missing things. I use it as a reminder and to let others know about important things. I think we should avoid putting everything in it, it would require too much maintenance. I'm in favour of a Wiki version also, so long as it stays focused (not a wishlist) and based on concensus.
