How can I open the command prompt in vs code? But as a window separate from vs code?
I tried shortcuts and other questions on StackOverflow but they all are on vs code and not opening it on a separate window.
You cannot do exactly what you are asking for. However, it sounds like you might be interested in installing Microsoft Terminal, available for free in the Microsoft Store. I use Microsoft Terminal Preview, it works extremely well.

Maybe I am just missing something, but I don't get how to setup a blank solution in VSCode (Under Windows or Visual Studio, you are able to just create a new Blank NanoFramework Template, but how can I do that in VSCode :/). I would really like to work with the nanoframework instead of c/c++, but I don't know how to create a blank solution :(.
That option is not currently available.
The main goal of the VS Code extension is to allow (partially) folks on MAC or Linux to work with .NET nanoFramework.
It's not possible to debug on VS Code and you'll only have a full experience on Visual Studio. If you're on Windows, the recommendation is to use Visual Studio.
is there any way to define custom snippets into the console or WSL Ubuntu throughout the VScode? I saw this really useful feature as a Premium feature on Termius app.
I don't know if the dev team seeing this but if it was the main feature as a sidebar in the terminal, that would be great.
Is it possible to run Visual Studio Code commands from Markdown? I noticed that, for example [cpptools](vscode:extension/ms-vscode.cpptools) shows the extension's page. I wondered if executing a command from the command palette would also work, and if it is something of an URI.
It proved difficult to track down the documentation but in fact this is possible, see: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/140733
Say your command is referenced as pkg.command, then this URL in Markdown can be clicked to execute it:
[Run It](command:pkg.command)
This works out of the box in modern VSCode.
Link processing using protocol vscode for example [cpptools](vscode:extension/ms-vscode.cpptools) is performed only by Visual Studio Code. For now, it handles links if they point to extensions, but does not support link to commands. But the Visual Studio Code development team can add this if they see fit for the developers.
But, in my opinion, this functionality is not necessary.
I'm using Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu. I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu so please excuse me if I'm asking a stupid question.
My question is regarding the Tools menu on Visual Studio under Windows. I don't see a Tools option in VS Code and when I search online I see some references to files/tools but that does not seem to work.
I have tried the option to right click the file in both Explorer in VS Code and the system Explorer but the instructions say to select Open in Command Prompt (or Open in Terminal) but those options don't exist when I right click.
Can someone please advise me and give me a reference if it exists?
Maybe an alternative is to run Microsoft VS using Wine. I have not tried that yet as it seems a little like wishful thinking but I will if someone says it will work.
From the Main Menu, select Help, the 'Welcome' which has Customize Tools and Languages.
I'm new to Visual Studio code so thanks in advance for the help.
I often use the PowerShell ISE with an interactive PowerShell window. I open it, type a few commands, then run a script (such as opening a PowerShell session with Office 365) and then type a few more commands.
Is there any way to do the same thing with Visual Studio code? I see a way to run scripts and debug them but not have them complete but the PowerShell window still stay around so I can continue working.
Decided to convert to answer, since this is a bit too much for comments:
Go to settings > user settings and change "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" to:
"C:\\WINDOWS\\Sysnative\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe",
Ctrl + Shift + ` opens the terminal. Using the + button on the terminal window you can launch additional powershell instances.
Also there's an extension that allows for launching several different terminals under the same VSCode process (cmd,powershell,bash,etc). Minor nuance, shells are being started with the same permissions VSCode has, but you can re-elevate once inside the shell.

Edit: but I would say its not really convenient, terminal takes away too much space on the screen (well, unless you have like 2k or 4k display), so I use powershell + vscode.
