I've set up Powerlevel10k on ZSH for WSL2 on VSCode, and have gone through the normal configuration procedures, such that the terminal prompt currently looks like this:
However, if possible I would like to increase the vertical line spacing between the first and second line of the prompt to avoid having the cursor touch the coloured segments. Is there a way to do this? Or if possible can I decrease the size of the cursor?
In Visual Studio code:
Press ctrl, to open Settings.
Type integrated line height.
Change the value to something larger than 1, for example, 1.4.

My VSCode terminal text is like this, how can it be fixed?
Try this first:
Use split screen in the terminal window i.e. 2 terminals visible.
Restart VS Code and it boots with one terminal visible only and with crazy letter spacing.
to fix i just click split screen again and all is fine.
If it doesn't work you can edit "editor.letterSpacing" setting.
for example:
{
"editor.letterSpacing": -0.15
}
Visual Studio Code keeps scrunching and separating my code in the right window into multiple lines, if the left pane is too wide. It used to never be like that. How can I change this setting, so VS Code does not auto window size the right panel?
Is there a way to increase the width of the line cursor in terminal? It is way too small! I believe it is a integrated xterm.js, but I don't know if it is possible to change the settings and such. The documentation doesn't help either.
This question Increase the caret cursor size in VS Code deals with cursor width of the editor, but it doesn't work for the terminal.
The ability to confiure xterm's cursorWidth has been added to Visual Studio Code; it should be available in the next release.
How to disable line wrap in Visual Studio Code integrated Terminal?
I would like to do not see line breaking when output is too long.
Look how bad it looks.
There was an issue #74501 with this before that was fixed, now you can in terminal use alt+z keybinding to toggle between the wrap and unwrap
There is currently no such option, but it may be available in the future because of #74501
Completely disabling line wrapping for embedded terminals in VSCode is not possible because the shell running within the terminal window always breaks lines to its visible width.
As of VSCode 1.61 (Sep 2021) you can set a wider virtual width of the terminal window. This reduces the amount of line wrapping the underlying shell is doing and gives you a nice scrollbar within VSCode.
To enable this, enter Terminal: Set Fixed Dimensions into VSCode's command palette.

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:
