I fell in love with the Integrated Terminal when I was forced to use Visual Studio Code on Windows. "command": ""įor Windows, set Ctrl + Alt + ` via the keyboard shortcut panel. Toggles terminal with Command + Option + ` You must set it through the JSON file, so open up keybindings.json and insert the following entry. (Mac Visual Studio Code won’t register ` with Command or Option keys). On Mac, you can’t set Command + Option + ` through this panel. You should see an option to toggle the integrated terminal. Search for “Integrated Terminal” in the keyboard shortcuts panel. This keyboard shortcut opens and closes the Integrated Terminal. Let’s start by toggling the integrated terminal. Once I changed this shortcut, BOOM I rarely use the integrated terminal anymore. The real problem was because Mac’s shortcut for accessing the Integrated Terminal ( Control + `) wasn’t accessible enough. It sounds even funnier I say I use a 27" display… I know this sounds funny considering I use a 15" Mac. I felt it was too small there wasn’t enough space for code and the terminal to coexist. I didn’t like the Integrated Terminal in Visual Studio Code for a long time.

I didn’t like the Integrated Terminal previously This week, I want to share some wicked shortcuts I use for the Integrated Terminal.

I talked about the key bindings I used to switch between tabs and panels last week. Customised (and effective) Visual Studio Code keyboard shortcuts for Mac and Windows (Part 2) 27th May 2020
