How to split the terminal of VSCode into two parts and run code(git command) of client and server in both individuals terminals.
I have attached an image pls see I have to achieve that only means run both folders in two terminals. I have to achieve that only.
Open the Terminal view, press the + icon to add a new terminal, select a directory to use. Once you have multiple terminal sessions, you'll see that sidebar menu listing them. Click and drag one into whatever area you wish it to occupy.
Alternatively, you can look at using a terminal multiplexer, but that's not what's being used in the screenshot you show.

Using VS Code, I have extensions that add right-click items to the gutter. There is no way to run these commands via the command palette. So for example, for a java extension, running individual tests, I'm constantly having to grab the mouse to run the current test from the gutter.
I don't see any way using keys to activate/jump to the gutter so I can activate them that way (at that point I could just use the regular right-click keystroke).
Am I wrong?
I'm still new to VS code and I saw this type of using VS code on two monitors, so I have 3 monitors and I'm on windows 10, I use the left one as a preview for the code I'm typing in chrome so that is sorted and I want my middle one to have the main code I'm working on and my right one is set vertically so I want it to run the terminal or of that file or another file so I can use both my right and middle to write code and I have no idea how can I do this.
there is a workaround, first in the file you want to open go and click ctrl+shift+p and search for open active file in new window, then in your new instance, press again ctrl+shit+p and search for Open User Settings(JSON) and add this line at the end of the settings "files.autoSave": "onFocusChange", so whenever you change windows the current file you're working on will be auto saved, hope this helps
After getting more comfortable with awslogs, I am wondering if there's a way to actually open up or bring a terminal to the code editor view. For example, here's what I see in my iTerm2 app:
I don't really use iterm2 too much if I have to do some editing of files, but having this inside of VS Code in a tab would be really nice. Just would allow me to make changes to the Dockerfile and monitor the progress of the build from AWS.
Here's where I would like it to go:
I understand that this isn't really a "terminal" spot per se since it's typically at the bottom, but I was just curious to see if there was a way to do it without affecting the terminal on the bottom. In some rare cases it would be nice to attach to a tmux session from the code editor window so I can flip between that and code.
In the Insiders build now, and so presumably will be in v1.58, is the ability to put a terminal into an editor like you ask. You can also drag a terminal into the editor area to crop it there!
There are these commands:
Terminal: MoveTerminal into Editor Group
Terminal: Create Terminal Editor
workbench.action.terminal.moveToEditorInstance
This seems quite basic, but I can only seem to create vertical splits in vs code, and would like to be able to create horizontal but don't know what the command is to do so.
I have tried looking through the commands prefixed with Terminal: , but don't seem to have anything that will create a new terminal in a horizontal split. The command that I'm using to create a new terminal is Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal
open a first terminal, then a second one, then right click a terminal: "move to editor area".
Configure default terminal location
In theory you can configure the terminal location, using Workbench > Panel: Default Location:
The setting ID is workbench.panel.defaultLocation
The JSON is:
"workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "left"
That doesn't work for me. Sounds like a bug.
Work-around
To work around this you can:
Pull up a terminal with Ctrl'
Right click on the TERMINAL tab
Select either "Move panel left" or "Move panel right"
Click into the panel
Hit CtrlShift5 to split the terminal
You now have two terminals, one above the other
I have also found that changing the alignment of the terminal panel can give some more width and prevent crammed text in a narrow terminal column. To do this go into the VSCode menu...
View -> Appearance -> Align Panel -> Justify
This will place the terminal below everything and give extra width because it is no longer crowded by the Primary Side Bar.
On the terminal panel click on Configure Terminal Settings
On the next screen change Default Location to editor
Now if you create terminals it will create it in editor window
Use tmux and use ITerm.app in your configuration
If you're like me and your cat walked on your keyboard and opened a split terminal somehow, you can close it by right clicking the split piece and select Kill Terminal.
in VSCode is it possible to open the terminals in a separate window?
So far my research has pointed to a resounding NO but Im curious if anyone has a solution?
Move terminals between windows
It's now possible to move terminals between windows by detaching via
Terminal: Detach Session in one and attaching to another with
Terminal: Attach to Session. In the future this should help enable
cross-window drag and drop!
Lots of changes in v1.58: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_58.md#terminals-in-the-editor-area
For v1.59 moving the terminal changes - including dragging and dropping onto another window, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_59.md#drag-and-drop-terminals-across-windows
Drag and drop terminals across windows
Drag terminals from the tabs
list or editor area of one window into the tabs list, editor area, or
panel of another window.
Terminals in the editor area
Terminals can now be created in or moved to the editor area, enabling a multi-dimensional grid layout that persists and remains visible regardless of panel state.
To use terminals in the editor area, there are several options:
Create via the Create Terminal in Editor Area command.
Move a terminal from the panel to the editor by dragging and dropping from the tabs list.
Running Move Terminal into Editor Area with a terminal focused.
Moving into the editor area via the terminal tab context menu action.
The new terminal.integrated.defaultLocation setting can be set to editor to direct newly created terminals to the editor area by default.
Please Try:
File > Open New Window
Ctrl+Shift+P > Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area
You can add keybinding to the commands as per your convenience.
i think that the OP wants to create a separate window for the terminal but still have the separated terminal linked to the code editor in the original window (that's what i want too). so that when you run the code in the editor the output is shown in the terminal in the separate window. but if you simply open up a new window of vscode and either open a terminal there or drag and drop the terminal from the original window into the new window, the new terminal is not the same session of the terminal. it is a separate independent unconnected terminal. running the code in the editor does not show output in the new separate terminal. all you have achieved is creating a new unconnected terminal. which you could have just accomplished by opening up a regular terminal window i.e. the one from windows os main menu, no need even to use vscode.
This answer is now outdated. See this answer for instructions on moving terminal panes between VS Code windows. This answer still works but is no longer a necessary workaround.
You can't detach the panes in VSCode, which IMO is a bit of a pain since Visual Studio can detach panes all day long.
There is a workaround though, you can open a new window in VSCode and maximize the terminal pane in that window.
One reason you'd want to do this is to have the Python terminal on a second monitor while still being able to use Python interactively (shift+enter way). Attaching/detaching didn't work for me, nor can you open separate terminals.
What you can do is simply resize your one window across the screen borders! Then right click on the terminal tab/header and click Move panel to the left and voila!
Try Сtrl+Shift+c.
For me, it opens the folder the script is within in a command prompt window.
Create a new window by going to File → New Window.
Open up a new terminal inside of it.
Go to your folder (cd your\projectfolder\path).
And here you are, you have a terminal for your project inside it's own seperate window.
You can change the terminal to be side-by-side instead of below the editor. And then make your window very wide. It is almost as good as having two windows.
Right click on the TERMINAL tab.
Select "Move Views to Side Panel"
Make your window very wide
It seems VS Code allows you to detach the terminal window, but it then will not show the output from the editor of the window you detached it from.
I have spent a while searching, and there is really no workaround other than to just run whatever file you are trying to debug from a separate terminal from the same CWD. This also means you will need to save the file in the window you are editing the file in every time you want to run it. huge pain.
If you are using PowerShell inside the VSCode terminal, why don't you use the PowerShell console from the start menu. It's basically equivalent to using the terminal in separate windows. Hope it helps.Sample
