In the terminal in VSCode there's too much white space - visual-studio-code

When I open the terminal in VSCode, there's too much white space.
(Click images to enlarge)
I have to press Enter to type the command. Has anyone encountered this error?

Maybe I'm late to the party, but this is what fixed it for me:
Configure VSCode to use cmd.exe as the terminal (settings.json):
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
Open cmd.exe
Go to default settings
Make sure "[V] Use legacy console" is checked
OK, OK, restart VSCode
I guess you'll lose some new console features, but I don't use any of them anyway, so for me - this solved the problem.
I noticed the same problem with PS and other console implementations (because the root cause is likely here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/270, as people here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/57803 eventually realized), but at least I found a way to solve it with cmd.exe.
Hope this helps.

If you change the height of the terminal at the bottom (so that it occupies a large amount of the screen), then you kill the terminal and then Right-click to run Python file in Terminal, it will work. It is a Terminal rendering issue.

VS Code Powershell "←]633;P;IsWindows=True"

I am working on a web application using Angular in Vs code.
I ran into some errors while I am fixing them in the process my vscode is bricked after a couple of minutes it return to its normal state but some weird beep sounds raised so i restarted my Laptop.
When I opened VS code again beep sound repeated and my powershell is showing some weird text
So, I thought the error this is due to some misconfigurations in my vscode and I uninstalled VScode ,deleted all related data
After installation the same weird text with beep sounds appeared again
The weird text
←]633;P;IsWindows=True
633;A633;P;Cwd=D:\user\website\quizPS D:\chiru\website\quiz> 633;B
←]633;C```
As #meganrogge said in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/160419 setting terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled to false fixes this
I had in the settings Terminal > Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty (setting ID terminal.integrated.windowsEnableConpty) disabled. After re-enabling it again (which is the default) the problem went away for me.
Do you have scala sbt installed? it does not work well with ms power shell. On Windows it can be used via git bash for example. Go to your user vs code settings and adjust so following terminal integration will be active
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows":{"Git Bash":{"path":"C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"}, },
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash",
the close your ms power shell tab in vs code terminal panel and add new bash one.
looks like there is a problem with powershell so i reinstalled my powershell it worked
I solved in this way:
Ctrl + Mayus + P
I faced the same issue. I uninstalled VS Code and installed again and the issue was resolved for me

Resize the terminal in vscode is trigger the ctrl+c to terminate the running command

I'm running the vscode 1.64.2 on Windows 10. Currently i met a strange problem, When i resize the terminal in the vscode and the cursor is focus on the terminal, Then it will trigger ctrl+c . At this time any running command would be terminated immediately .
To avoid this i have to un-focus for the terminal first and then resize it. Any suggestion here?
I was searching about this with no luck. Today I realized about one installed software on my machine that has a global hook on mouse selection. In my case was the QTranslate software. When I exit the application the problem was solved.
Check if you have this or another software that has a global hook on mouse selection.
In VS Code this problem (control C) was happening for any command line inside the terminal. Apart from that, opening Git bash (standalone) I was having the same issue, but not for cmd or another command line.
Hope this helps you because this was driving me crazy.
Absolutely working solution!
I experienced the same problem with mouse strange behavior for a long time, but finally I found out it was the QTranslate's guilt! After I stopped it, the problem has gone. (can't vote up because of my virgin profile here).
PS: I found the solution how to push work both QTranslate and terminal window - just set QTranslate setting "Advanced->Copy action" to "Ctrl+Insert" instead of Ctrl+C.

VS Code Terminal Not Allowing Typing

My VS code terminal was working fine, until one day when I tried to work on a project, that was still open in VS code, my terminal didn't allow me to type any commands. I couldn't type anything. This is the screen that I get.
Okay, for those of you struggling with the same problem, I've managed to solve it by clicking on the drop-down menu that says powershell and changing it to cmd.
this happened to me and simply
close vs code
right click on it
run as administrator
open the terminal and it will work
this problem happened when I changed the default path of CMD
For me, I tried using Powershell/CMD/Bash and I was having errors/blank terminal. I found typing echo hello and pressing CTRL + C made it appear. So in fact, everything was working, my terminal was just blank/glitched out, but was really accepting input.
I had a similar issue when running ionic serve command which runs the development server on the localhost. I paid attention after executing the command above, and it said:
Use Ctrl+C to quit this process
Pressing Ctrl+C then displays:
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Type Y or y
then the command prompt is shown again!
Here is a sample terminal window - trimmed for brevity:
For who has this problem using React. This happens when you start a live version using npm start. The terminal that handles the live version of the app cannot be used for anything else.
So to continue using the terminal you need to open a new terminal to use in parallel. To do so just click on the plus icon in the top right corner of the terminal panel then choose the "Power Shell" option. This will open a new terminal without restarting visual studio.
In Mac, when working with Python, this helped me: instead of clicking on the "Run Code" option, click on "Run Python file", in the right corner.
For Ubuntu users this is solved by this solution:
File -> Preferences -> Setting -> Features -> Terminal -> Inherit Env
I found two vscode on my desktop, I opened the other one and it worked. Looks like I updated it but the older one didn't disappear.
If typing Ctrl+C can help to get out of this frozen state, that will be easier to do with VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022)
The terminal can type the answer for you.
Terminal -- Auto-reply
The terminal is now able to automatically reply when a specific sequences of characters is received.
A good example of where this is useful, which is also the only default case, is the Windows batch script message Terminate batch job (Y/N)? after hitting Ctrl+C when running a batch script.
This typically just ends up causing problems for the user.
The terminal will now automatically reply with Y and enter (\r) which makes Ctrl+C in Windows feel much better.
Pressing Ctrl+C will immediately reply to the question and return to the prompt:
Theme: Sapphire
The feature was made generically so you can setup custom replies for other thing, just be careful when doing this as you are sending text to the process automatically.
For example you could use it to automatically update Oh My Zsh when prompted:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"[Oh My Zsh] Would you like to check for updates? [Y/n]": "Y\r"
}
If you use Clink and enable their similar feature, you can disable it in Clink or in VS Code by setting the reply to null to avoid the two features conflicting with each other:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"Terminate batch job (Y/N)": null
}
Go to terminal, preferences, settings.
Check "run code in terminal"
Restart VS.
I changed from bash to powershell in terminal first but the command prompt still not shown.
Then I navigate to File -> Perferences -> Settings and it starts working (command prompt shown)
This seems to just be a display problem. It happened to me when I changed my display settings for desktop icon and app scaling settings.
I managed to fix the problem by simply restarting my computer and re-opening VS code
I had the same problem ... In my case just run vs-code as administrator and works

zsh doesn't work in the vscode built-in terminal

echo $SHELL
logged: /bin/zsh
why the built-in shell is still bash
what should I config vscode the to make the zsh works in the built-in terminal?
For those who are using MAC
Launch Visual Studio Code and go to Settings.
In Settings, click on the features dropdown and then on Terminal
Click on edit in settings.json (the icon at the top right) and add this line of code to the user settings json file:
"terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/bin/zsh"
then you must close that terminal with the trash icon.
that's it, now if you open another terminal you should see the ZSH terminal.
#Ale's answer is no longer valid! It should be used the following instead:
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.osx": "zsh"
You can set the terminal.integrated.shell.linux property as described here. If you need to pass arguments to zsh, use the terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux property.
#ccoutinho updated Ale DC's answer to the proper path:
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.osx": "zsh"
But I also needed Ale DC's extra tip to trash the currently displayed embedded terminal (clicking the trash icon at the top right of the terminal tab). Otherwise I had one instance showing zsh and another refused to show zsh and it was driving me crazy.
Hope that helps.

How to Integrate babun shell in VS code

I have tried changing the settings for "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" to babun mintty location. But the babun shell window opens separately and doesn't integrate with the VS code. Anyone knows how to achieve this?
After trying for 2 hours finally made it work.
Before reading my way of doing this, you might want to got through this issue first.
By default babun is installed in C:\Users\13000\.babun\. So we can configure it by overriding user setting in VS Code as:
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Users\\YOURUSERNAME\\.babun\\cygwin\\bin\\zsh.exe",
After saving , reload the window and you are done.
You will get something like :
Hope this helps!
I was searching for any solution for this issue before and I could not find any. But I was curious how Babun itself run the command "Open Babun here" from right-click menu and noticed it runs this command:
C:\Users\YOURUSER\.babun\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/env CHERE_INVOKING=1 /bin/zsh.exe
I've tried setting mintty.exe as shell and using leading commands as shell arguments, but this method opens an external terminal. I've noticed this behavior is because using mintty.exe, so I replaced mintty.exe with env.exe itself. At last, these are the settings:
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Users\\YOURUSER\\.babun\\cygwin\\bin\\env.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
"CHERE_INVOKING=1",
"/bin/zsh.exe"
]
Edit: This might not completely relate to this question, but because of having the similarity, I think it might worth mentioning.
During my search for a solution, I've seen many other questions about the same issue for integrating Atom's PlatformIO IDE Terminal package or JetBrain's IDEs with Babun's zsh.
In the case of Atom, setting the Shell Override to C:\Users\YOURUSER\.babun\cygwin\bin\env.exe and Shell Arguments to CHERE_INVOKING=1 /bin/zsh.exe opens zsh.exe as an integrated terminal in the project directory.
In the case of JetBrain, I've used WebStrom and this works:
cmd.exe "/k C:\Users\ehsan\.babun\cygwin\bin\env.exe CHERE_INVOKING=1 /bin/zsh.exe"
Just complementing the correct answer that Pramesh Bajracharya gave above, you can override user settings in VS Code opening the VS Code and going in:
File->Preferences->Settings
And then paste in the field shown in your right side (WORKSPACE SETTINGS):
{
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Users\\YOURUSER\\.babun\\cygwin\\bin\\zsh.exe"
}

Thanks Pramesh Bajracharya!
