Run Rspec block via hot key in VS Code

Question

Is there a way to configure VS Code to run an Rspec block in the current cursor position?

Either a describe or it block.

I found similar functionality through Atom with the Rspec extension. A hot key became available Cmd + alt + X. Which would trigger the single it or a group within describe depending where the cursor was.

And then press Cmd + L to run the specific describe or it

I installed Rails Test Runner. Open your spec file, put your cursor on/in the describe or it block, then right click. You see 2 choices:

Run all tests in file
Run tests starting from the current line

To set up RSpec to run in VS Code, with breakpoints, see my answer.
