I can only use the bash, tmux, and javascript debug terminal in VsCode. I can't use the CMD and WSL terminal.
I tried to change it in the default terminal profile but there's no CMD and WSL there.
Press on Configure Terminal Settings and open setting.json file and add this line
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Command Prompt",
Go to VSCode to learn more about terminal integration.
I want to disable opening any terminals on reloading vscode window. How I can achieve it? I use Terminal Manager to run terminals by default and I don't need the standard one from vscode.
I'm trying to setup a chain of tasks that need a terminal for each one. To do so, I need to use a command that opens a new integrated terminal tab from a previous integrated terminal. Is there any way to do so in vs-code integrated terminal?
In mac I would use
open -a Terminal
Or something like ttab that immediately opens a tab in the current iterm terminal.
Thanks
(edited: I'm looking for a command to type in the terminal, not hotkeys)
Ctrl+Shift+` (Tilda) is the keyboard shortcut to open another terminal on Windows.
Cmd+Shift+` (Tilda) is the keyboard shortcut to open another terminal on Mac.
I would like to switch from powershell.exe to cmd.exe in the terminal but i'm not sure how to do so. Provided screenshot for clarification.

I found two different ways to switch from powershell to command prompt in VSCode.
Very simple steps i found my self as below:
First one is very simple way:
Press Ctrl+` (or View > Terminal in menu) to open a
new terminal pane.
Click terminal selection dropdown and click 'Select Default Shell'.
Choose terminal type Command Prompt or PowerShell
Now Delete current opened terminal or open new terminal.
Now, Command Prompt will be your default shell in VSCode.
Second one is also simple and handy for all devs.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to show all commands.
Type shell in the displayed text box to filter the list.
Select Terminal: Select Default Shell.
You will be prompted to Select your preferred terminal shell, you can change this later in your settings or follow the same process as we do now
Select Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
Click the Delete Icon in the shell pane to remove the existing terminal.
Press Ctrl+` (or View > Terminal in menu) to open a new terminal pane.
open settings (ctrl+comma)
find terminal.integrated.shell.windows
replace its value with C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe
I also faced this problem that when I clicked on terminal. It was showing Powershell but not Command Prompt, so I did the following steps to get Command Prompt in Visual Studio:
View -> Command palette -> Toggle Integrated Terminal
Open terminal by shortcut ctrl+`
or View -> terminal
Write the command as cmd.exe and run
In the current terminal ,simply type cmd and enter. And you are done.
From Visual Studio if you have powershell set as your default integrated terminal, after you call it with Ctrl-` (control backtick) - that toggles from the terminal to your files panel and back. Call the terminal, It will show as 1: pwsh in the dropdown box. From the powershell command line type bash and enter. You have your bash prompt $. In the dropdown you now see 1: bash.
You can type cmd from either the ps C: or the $ bash prompt and open the windows command prompt. C:> and exit to exit them.
You can open up multiple terminals. Say powershell (pwsh) is your default one. A new terminal will show as 2: pwsh which you can change to a cmd one. The same if you open a third. Change it to bash. You now have 3 terminals 1: pwsh, 2: cmd, and 3: bash. You can select whichever one you want to work with from the dropdown. You can of course exit any of them.
No doubt you've seen that when you are running node.js, the terminal becomes node.
I run Emacs with -nw mode, but when I double click on a file I want to edit from my desktop, it opens up the Emacs app outside the terminal. Is there a way to change this?
Using OSX 10.8.5 and emacs 24.3.1.
After opening Emacs, run server-mode. Instead of associating the double click with Emacs, associate it with emacs-client. The client will connect to the server and open the file will open in the running Emacs instance. (not tested on OSX)
