open local terminal in vscode when running in ssh mode - visual-studio-code

When I connect via ssh to a remote machine in vscode, the integrated terminal opens a terminal in the remote machine. Is there a way to open a terminal panel with a terminal of my local machine?

Using the command palette (default ctrl+shift+p/cmd+shift+p), there is an option
Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal (local)

VSCode SSH auto-open terminal and run commands

I use VSCode with the Remote - SSH extension to connect to a remote dev enviroment.
During development on the remote machine, I use integrated terminal to view application logs. At this moment, I have to open new terminals and run commands manually, which is too much work for my lazy hands ;)
Questions are:
When I connect, I want VScode to open terminal tabs for me and run some commands (like tail ./logs/whatever). Is that possible?
If (1) is possible, can I also configure the terminals to open in VSCode Split Terminal mode?

keep Running Jupyter notebook with VSCode on remote server (SSH) after disconnecting

i'm working with VSCode on remote server via ssh with the jupyter notebook extension.
but when im disconnect from the session the process of the code is stopped.
is there a way to run the notebook from the VSCode with a backgroung process with tools like tmux.
cause i'm far of being a linux expert and i cant figure out how can i run the notebook process with tmux via the VSCode.
thanks a lot in advance.
Simply start a tmux process in the remote terminal start Jupyter in the tmux session. You can go out of the tmux session without closing it.
In VSC you can choose the tmux session as the host.

WSL zsh Integrated VSCode User account change?

Hi not sure if this is possible or not to achieve, but I am looking to change the user account that is set when launching zsh terminal in VSCode from showing "Administrator" to "~" like it shows when you run VSCode with remote WSL and stand alone Ubuntu terminal.
Launching default VSCode:

VS Code using Remote SSH - How to open "local" terminal?

I am connected to a remote server via SSH and using the Remote - SSH plugin by VS Code to do so. However, when opening up a terminal, the default terminal is the terminal of the remote server. I know this makes a lot of sense but there are times where I'd like to actually use the local terminal from VS Code as well.
Is there any way to do this or is the terminal limited to the host that VS Code's session is established?
If you can SSH back home, an easy way is to open a new terminal in VS Code and ssh home.
EDIT in fact, just search "terminal local" in the Command Palette. This feature exists out-of-the-box in VSCode, see : https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/730

How do i open a local terminal from a remote session in VScode?

When i open my workspace in VScode i go directly into my SSH work area, which is what i want. But i want to have a split terminal with access to both my SSH-work area and a terminal for my local computer, but i cant access the local one without making an explicitly new terminal from the dropdown window. And if i try to split the new local terminal i get the error "The terminal shell CWD "/Users/asd/work/" does not exist" as if its being looked for in my SSH work directory. Is there any way of specifying the default terminal to be on my local computer? If i do so in the terminal preferences in VScode i get the CWD-error on startup instead.
This should have been resolved with microsoft/vscode-remote-release issue 1479
Both of you don't have C:\Windows\System32 on your path, I don't understand why that is.
But I will change this to not rely on the PATH.
Even if this was for Windows originally, opening a local shell, (Mac or Windows) should now be possible while having a remote session.
Wtih ctrl+shift+p or cmd+shift+p(Command Palette), you have:
Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal (local)
Bonus, with VSCode 1.53 (Jan. 2021), there is now:
Remote layout persistence
Terminal layout is restored on remote terminal reconnection. In the video below, the terminal layout is restored when reloading VS Code and reconnecting to a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) remote instance.
