How to restart VScode after editing extension's config?

Question

VScode notifies you when you open a config of an extension:

remember to Restart VScode

But it says nothing about how. They use capital letter for restart word, so normally it should mean something if you emphasize an appellation. Is there some hidden restart button or a key shortcut? How do I restart the IDE?

Probably save the edited files and close VScode and open it again? — Superiom
This message is coming from the extension, not vscode - it's usually not required to reload vscode after changing an extension setting. — Rob Lourens

Execute the workbench.action.reloadWindow command.

There are some ways to do so:

Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and execute the command:
```
>Reload Window    
```

Define a keybinding for the command (for example CTRL+F5) in keybindings.json:

[
  {
    "key": "ctrl+f5",
    "command": "workbench.action.reloadWindow",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
  }
]
