I'm currently new to Spyder and I'm trying to get a feel for the shortcuts.
I have seen that you can actually create multiple code panes using split vertical/horizontal (in order to work on multiple code files), however I didn't find any shortcut to switch between the multiple code panels I had.
So, is there any shortcut to move my text cursor from A panel to B panel ?
(Spyder maintainer here) There's no keyboard shortcut for that, sorry.
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
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
I'm currently experimenting with VS Code, having used Sublime Text 3 for the last five years or so. In Sublime, I could quickly swap two lines by selecting them both and then doing Ctrl+T.
As far as I've been able to find, the only equivalent command in VS Code is Alt+↑/↓, which pushes the selected line either up or down, and would be excruciatingly slow unless the selections are very close to each other.
Is this still true as of 2019? Is this basic functionality really not possible in VS Code?
There is no built-in functionality.
You can use a combination of VS Code's multi-cursor selection and the Swap extension.
Select one line or lines
Select another line/lines while holding down Alt or CMD (for Mac)
Use the extension's swap shortcut
Via keyboard shortcut
Windows: CTRL+ALT+8
Mac: CMD+OPTION+8
Via command palette
"Swap"
You can customize the keyboard shortcut to be same as what you used in Sublime.
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.
