I am working in Visual Studio Code. I was copying something when I hit the wrong shortcut key (not sure which one) and the editor window zoomed out (to about half the size). See image below.
Note that this is not the View > appearance > zoom setting at work as the whole program/window is not zoomed in or out. Either way, I selected to reset to default zoom and it did not fix the issue. Rather, ONLY the editor window is zoomed out.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
It looks like the editor.action.fontZoomOut command was run. Bring up the command palette (ctrl+shift+p) and type "font zoom reset" to find the command to revert.

I want to move the intellisense popup window to the left side.
How can I do this?
I tried this solution but it did not help me.
How to make VSCode Intellisense window wider
change width
For adjusting the width, you can drag the right side of the window now, see this SO post for an old animation.
On mac the right of the popup will turn blue when hovered (cursor isn't captured in screenshot) and can be resized. You can also resize vertically by hovering the bottom. It looks like this on mac (not sure about other OS):
change position
The new version (October 2021 (version 1.62)) makes it easy to move the position... sort of. You can now choose to have the editor above or below what you hover. So glad they added it as a feature. This wasn't exactly the problem you had, but when I first searched for moving the intellisense menu, it led me here, so figured I'd add this for others Google sends here.
Simply add the following to settings.json file:
"editor.hover.above": false
Add a comma after it if you have more settings below it:
"editor.hover.above": false,
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
You can try to configure intellisense within VScode using the steps in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense#_customizing-intellisense, though I am not sure if your particular issue could be solved this way.
Recently in VS Code, somewhere around v1.42 or v1.43, we gained the ability to move around the following windows/panels that used to be stuck in the panel:
Terminal
Output
Debug Console
Problems
They could be split into multiple items in the panel itself (side-by-side or top/bottom, depending on whether the panel was at the bottom or left/right), and even dragged into the side-bar.
This was great, but after moving all of these windows to the side-bar while experimenting, I can't find any way to move them back into the panel. The panel is now empty, except for 3 dots (an ellipsis) in the upper left corner. You can still hide/show the panel, and move it left, bottom, or right, but there is nothing in it, and you can't drag anything to it. Dragging the terminal into the panel shows an icon that looks like it will successfully move (it's not the icon with the circle/cross-out you get other places it won't drop), but when releasing the click-drag, nothing happens.
I had just upgraded to v1.45.0 when this happened. It appears to be a defect, unless I'm missing something. Does anyone have a way to put the terminal or one of these other windows back in the panel, or reset their position? I combed the settings, and tried to find default setting's files (system or user) that might hold info on what is in the panel vs. the sidebar, etc., but couldn't find anything via search or on my PC. Any ideas?
Note: This is NOT about moving the panel between the left/right/bottom positions, or selecting the terminal/output/etc. in the panel itself. That's "old news", this is a recent feature.
Here is a view with the Terminal, Output, Debug Console, and Problems put at the top of the sidebar toolbar, and Terminal focused. The Panel is just to the right of the sidebar window, set to the "left" position, completely blank and useless. The "welcome" window on the far right side:
And here are my current settings:
See this issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/96117 (Empty panel behaves weird)
Suggested fix:
Run the command View: Reset View Locations in the command palette.

How can I make this window bigger in VS Code?
I cant see the continued of the methods
Goto the View menu, then Appearance and Zoom In (Ctrl++). This will make the quick suggestions window bigger.
Afterwards, in the Settings.json you can reduce the "editor.fontSize" again until it fits your needs.
You can also try Full screen mode along with other options.
Press Ctrl+K and then Z to open editor in full screen without explorer and terminal, etc.
And you can use Ctrl+B to show/hide side bar and Ctrl+J to show terminal and console panel.
I'm working in VSC and writting nodejs and I am faced with a scroll problem in long terminal outputs, scroll on the right side of terminal with slider goes too many rows too fast if I use them, so, question is, do we have smooth scroll option in integrated terminal to read output easy and line by line with arrows or we must use another external terminal for that?
Thanks.
In v1.71 smooth scrolling will be improved, see Release Notes: Terminal Smooth Scrolling.
The terminal now supports smooth scrolling which will animate
scrolling over a short period to help orient yourself after scrolling,
like the feature that is also available in the editor and lists. To
enable it set:
json "terminal.integrated.smoothScrolling": true
In vscode v1.42 (early February, 2020) two new commands related to terminal mouse wheel scroll sensitivity will be introduced:
Scrolling sensitivity
The terminal's scrolling sensitivity can now be configured independent
of the editor using the new settings
terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity and
terminal.integrated.fastScrollSensitivity.
See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_42.md#scrolling-sensitivity
Thanks to #Sean and #user9811991 in the comments for pointing out that the setting is a multiplier. My terminal normally scroll three lines at a time, to get it to scroll only one line I had to set terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity to 0.08.
Also see Scrolling the terminal line by line from the keyboard for a keyboard command that scrolls the terminal by one line: workbench.action.terminal.scrollUp Ctrl-Alt-PageUp
Just add these lines into settings.json file and it will take effect instantly.
"terminal.integrated.fastScrollSensitivity" :1 ,
"terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity":0.1
I've added the values as 0.1 because it was better for me , you can choose your sweet spot.
settings.json file , where you need to add the above answered values
It has been implemented in xterm
To enable smooth scrolling in VSCODE terminal, go to your settings, search for terminal smo and
simply toggle it on:
In Visual Studio Code, there is a thing similar to command prompt in windows. It is called Terminal. In the past, I normally opened more than 3 tabs of this Terminal. However, in recent updates it displays this error when I try to open more than 3 tabs.
Not enough space to split terminal.
Is there a solution or a workaround for this?
Workaround:
Menu: View -> Appearance -> Toggle Panel Position (it moves terminals to the bottom) or right-click the "TERMINAL" or other tab and select "Move Panel to Bottom".
You can now open an additional terminal (or more) and then use the same menu option to move them back to the right and it will keep the additional terminals open.
There is a workaround - at least when You're using Ubuntu. You just have to unmaximize the window and resize it to make it bigger then Your screen size. Then You can split the terminal and can freely go back to initial window size.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, Windows won't allow You to have a window bigger that Your screen size. I don't know about Mac though.
