Terminal Tricks in VS Code

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a popular code editor that offers a built-in terminal for executing commands directly within the editor. Here are some useful terminal tricks for maximizing your productivity in VS Code:

1. Split Terminal

You can split the terminal into multiple panes by clicking on the “Split Terminal” button or using the shortcut Ctrl+ in Windows/Linux or Cmd+ in macOS. This allows you to work on multiple tasks simultaneously without switching between terminals.

2. Integrated Task Runner

VS Code has an integrated task runner that allows you to define and run tasks directly from the terminal. You can create tasks such as compiling code, running tests, or building projects and execute them with a simple command.

3. Quick Navigation

You can quickly navigate to files or folders in the terminal by using the “Jump to File” command. Simply type the file or folder name and VS Code will auto-complete the path for you, making it easy to navigate to different directories.

4. Terminal History

VS Code stores a history of commands that you’ve executed in the terminal. You can access this history by pressing the up and down arrow keys, allowing you to quickly re-run previous commands without retyping them.

5. Multiple Terminals

You can have multiple terminal instances open in VS Code by clicking on the “+” button next to the terminal tab or using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+` in Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+` in macOS. This is helpful for running different commands simultaneously or monitoring multiple processes.

These are just a few terminal tricks that can help you work more efficiently in VS Code. Experiment with these features and incorporate them into your workflow to enhance your coding experience.

Can we save these customizations in .vscode/settings.json, which would be restored when the workspace is opened?

Still can't open Microsoft's Windows Terminal in Microsoft's Vscode as an integrated terminal. So it is time to stop sharing Vscode terminal videos. Microsoft can't handle terminal things
