Specifically I'd like to run a terminal command from vscode's built in terminal and have that command open another new vscode built-in terminal. Is this possible?
This is related to my question here - https://github.com/mklement0/ttab/issues/51#issuecomment-1372825316
Say I have the following command in my package.json scripts:
"sayHello": "ttab echo hello",
And I run npm run sayHello from the vscode integrated terminal. Is
there a way to have it so that the new terminal that is created is
created within the integrated terminal instead of from (in my case)
the default mac terminal application?
I am using VSCode for Flutter development but my team is using Android Studio. So when I tried to clone the repo which has Flutter Project created from Android Studio into VSCode, it is not even detecting import 'package: flutter/material.dart'; and throwing a lot of errors.
Is there a way possible or is it like we cannot use other code editors for projects created in Android.
Yes, It is possible. Just open your terminal and enter the following commands
cd my-project-folder/
#takes you to your project folder
then
code .
#this will open your project in vs code
Yes, but make sure VS Code is correctly set up. It needs to have Flutter and Dart Extensions installed.
Yes it's easy
Open VS Code
Open terminal ( press CTRL + ~ ) or ( from top bar press view >> command palette and select Create New Terminal )
Copy your project path and add it to terminal
To add the path to terminal type
cd type/your/path
then type code . in terminal to open your file
I have VS Code setup with WSL on my Windows 10 machine. I am trying to find the command I can use to open an existing file from the integrated terminal in the current VS Code window.
I tried code filename, which launches a new VS Code window. I tried with code -r filename, but it also launches a new window.
Is there a way to quickly open a file when I'm focussed on the terminal?
As of version 1.43.1, this appears to now work as expected, without additional add ons.
Formerly I could just run build commands in the integrated terminal, and then control click on the error results to jump to the associated files. This has stopped working with the recent update.
I do not use tasks.json or 'build', I just run the command directly in the terminal.
What can I do?
Is there a way of opening a file from the terminal in Visual Studio Code that opens in the same vscode instance that runs the terminal? Similar to c9 tool in Cloud9.
I'm aware of the code tool, but when you run code something.php from the integrated terminal it opens a new vscode instance, which is not what I want...
You can use -r or --reuse-window command line option.
code -r something.php
just
code file_name
I tried it on Win10 and on Linux (Ubuntu)
I don't know what operating system you're using, but on MacOS you can just say open filename.ext in the integrated terminal, and it will open a new tab in the same VSCode instance, ready for you to edit.
If you are having command not found: code in macOS, use a full path to it.
/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code -r [filename]
Open Visual Studio Code
Press CMD + SHIFT + P (this opens "Command Palette")
Type shell command
Select “Install code command in path”
Navigate to any project from the terminal, and type code .
If it didn't work, select “Uninstall code command from path” first, then reinstall it again.
I use code -r . to open the current directory in the main window.
You can use the code command from the CLI to open a file, but if you want it to open in the existing window, either use code -r <file> as mentioned in other answers (which does work for me on Ubuntu Linux), or, if -r does not work (under WSL?), make sure window.openFilesInNewWindow is either off or default in settings.json or the in VS Code settings UI, then use code <file>.
Many things can be found in open --help
A work around that worked for me on MacOS is:
open -a 'Visual Studio Code.app' something.php
in the version 1.31.0 that I have installed, on Windows 7, the only way I found to do this is to e.g. change the file associations in system so that .cproj and .cs files are opened by Visual Studio Code by default, and type "filename.cs" in Terminal to open file by that name in the same window... -r option is not working for the first call (opens a new window), but with each subsequent call that same window is correctly reused. ok can't get to open whole directories this way - it's a bit shoddy anyway. probably it would be more convenient to use an outside shell and work with "-r" option
VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022) comes with a new command:
Keyboard Navigable Links
Previously, link navigation in the terminal required the use of a mouse.
Now, links can be opened using only the keyboard via the following commands:
Terminal: Open Detected Link... to view all links (web, file, word)
Terminal: Open Last Web Link... ex: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
Terminal: Open Last File Link... ex: /Users/user/repo/file.txt
Check if the last command Terminal: Open Last File Link... would help in your case.
