There is a way to make this happens with these steps by installing an extension:
-
Find an extension called
Shell launcher
and install it or you can find it here. Reload VS Code if you want or after you finished all steps. -
Go to
Files --> Preferences --> Settings
and this will opensettings.json
file and you then insert this (you can edit this to your heart’s content):
Code:
"shellLauncher.shells.windows": [
{
"shell": "C:\\Windows\\<sysnative>\\cmd.exe",
"label": "cmd"
},
{
"shell": "C:\\Windows\\<sysnative>\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe",
"label": "PowerShell"
},
{
"shell": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",
"label": "Git bash"
},
{
"shell": "C:\\Windows\\<sysnative>\\bash.exe",
"label": "WSL Bash"
}
]
PS: You can use shellLauncher.shells.linux
for Linux
or shellLauncher.shells.osx
for macOS
.
- Go to
Files --> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts
and then find on{}
icon on the top right corner to openkeybindings.json
file. Insert this:
Code:
[
{ "key": "ctrl+alt+`", "command": "shellLauncher.launch" }
]
Update: Type shelllauncher
into the search bar. You can then see Shell Launcher: Launch
command. Highlight and use any keybinding you like. For example, I picked Ctrl + Alt + (backtick)` for myself.
You can reload your VS Code and click the key combination you have assigned and that will give you the option to choose which integrated terminal you want to use.
