Long Version

  1. Install the ANSI Colors extension.
  2. Open your ANSI file.
  3. Use the preview button, or their custom commands to open the ANSI color preview, just like in this screenshot: enter image description here
    • Press F1 or CTRL/Command + SHIFT + P (to open the VSCode command interface).
    • Type “ansi” or “preview” to find the commands.
    • Select with Up/Down arrow keys.
    • Finally, hit enter.
    • NOTE: As you can see, the command interface also shows you keyboard shortcuts, if you prefer those.

More usage and configuration options are explained on the extension page.
