Here's the current command for the "latexmk" option:

"latexmk -g -pdf -pdflatex=\"%latex\" -outdir=%o %f"

... and here's what you have, minus shell-escape.

"latexmk -f -pdf -%latex -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%o %f"

Do they not both account for the engine (luatex, xetex, etc.)?

In any case, whatever the command is, clearly it should.
