Stop a gulp watch task?

Question

How do I stop a running gulp watch task without having to completely exit the program?

I can see the task running on the task bar bottom left with a spinning \"slashes\"

If you ever wonder what

search for "Terminate Running Task."

does behind the scenes: "workbench.action.tasks.terminate".

so you can just bind it, like this:

{ "key": "ctrl+shift+t", "command": "workbench.action.tasks.terminate" }
