I can't find this in the documentation. Currently, when I click Terminal > New Terminal, it appears to the right of the IDE. I prefer to see this at the bottom. How do I move it to the bottom please? I have looked but I do not understand all the Newspeak.
You can right-click on Terminal and choose Move Panel to Bottom option, as you can see here:
If you go to settings there is an option to put the terminal on the bottom or right. You can change it there. If you are actually editting the settings.json file look for "workbench.panel.defaultLocation" statement and change it to "bottom"

I used to position my terminal at the left side of my visual studio code (as presented on the first image) but now the option to do that is gone, i think some recently update removed it (which seems strange, why would they remove a feature?).
After some googling, i found this How do I move the panel in Visual Studio Code to the right side?
But it doest help me, as my problem is different
Someone knows how i can achieve the same result nowadays?
What i already tried:
Tried to add this command at settings.json "workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "left" but it says it has been deprecated
Right click at terminal header does not show the "Move to Left" option anymore, instead there's only a Move Views to side panel, which results in a right-side placement, not left
View > Appearence does not have the desired option anymore
v1.64.2 is out 02/10/2022 and this can now be done in that release.
Use the command:
View: Move Panel Left from the Command Palette.
The one on the right in the screenshot below. It's also useful to know what is it called
This seems quite basic, but I can only seem to create vertical splits in vs code, and would like to be able to create horizontal but don't know what the command is to do so.
I have tried looking through the commands prefixed with Terminal: , but don't seem to have anything that will create a new terminal in a horizontal split. The command that I'm using to create a new terminal is Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal
open a first terminal, then a second one, then right click a terminal: "move to editor area".
Configure default terminal location
In theory you can configure the terminal location, using Workbench > Panel: Default Location:
The setting ID is workbench.panel.defaultLocation
The JSON is:
"workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "left"
That doesn't work for me. Sounds like a bug.
Work-around
To work around this you can:
Pull up a terminal with Ctrl'
Right click on the TERMINAL tab
Select either "Move panel left" or "Move panel right"
Click into the panel
Hit CtrlShift5 to split the terminal
You now have two terminals, one above the other
I have also found that changing the alignment of the terminal panel can give some more width and prevent crammed text in a narrow terminal column. To do this go into the VSCode menu...
View -> Appearance -> Align Panel -> Justify
This will place the terminal below everything and give extra width because it is no longer crowded by the Primary Side Bar.
On the terminal panel click on Configure Terminal Settings
On the next screen change Default Location to editor
Now if you create terminals it will create it in editor window
Use tmux and use ITerm.app in your configuration
If you're like me and your cat walked on your keyboard and opened a split terminal somehow, you can close it by right clicking the split piece and select Kill Terminal.
By default when opening the integrated terminal, it opens horizontally to the bottom of the editor.
How can I change the default position of the integrated terminal so that it is vertically aligned to the right of the editor, like when clicking the "Move to right" button?
EDIT:
Looking to set this in the settings.json
Try adding "workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "right" to your User/Workspace Settings
In August 2021 using vscode 1.60.0 installed on Linux (Manjaro) from Snap, Select File>Preferences>Settings. Type 'terminal' in to the search and it is the first thing to appear 'Workbench>Panel>Default Location'. This contains a drop-down with left, right and bottom as options.
You can see the image it's easy.
And if you close the Visual Studio it open by default in the position that was.
In my VS Code set up I see the output/FSI frame below the main text editor pane like this:
whereas I would love it to appear to the right in the side-by-side view like it does on the images in this link: http://www.wintellect.com/devcenter/jwood/a-quick-look-at-f-in-visual-studio-code
Is there a config option I cannot find somewhere?
I tried Googling but drew a blank and cannot see anything obvious in the config options mentioned on the vs code site page describing the config options
as of version 1.51.1 right click in the right corner on the output panel. then select option 'move panel right'
I don't believe you can detach/move the output windows in Visual Studio Code. You can move the side bar to the left/right side, but that's it. There is no config option, sorry.
You could try posting a feature request on the GitHub page: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
EDIT: This was changed in VS Code 0.10.8, it was once on the side but was moved to the bottom. See this GitHub issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/2806
This feature is not available yet in VS Code. However as of today (March 30, 2017) it's on 6 months roadmap so it should be done in a near feature.
This feature is available from version 1.18.0+
Simply click this icon to dock to the right:
Just follow the steps mentioned:
In Visual Studio Code -
View Tab > Appearance > Toggle Panel Position
That's it.
Your original link to the view your desire is obsolete, so it is a guess as to what you wanted. But here is a demo of setting up a terminal/output look side-by-side. It is a little tricky - you drag your Outline header over the Terminal header which will then allow you the option of putting it to the left or right of the Terminal:
its easy. just right-click on the terminal, select 'move panel right' like in the image below and voila
the image can be found here
Vertical Split:
From VS Code Menu bar:
View >> Appearance >> Move Panel Right
Version 1.47.0 of VS Code (at the moment of posting this, the latest one) allows you to drag output (or any other panel tab, e.g. terminal) to the activity bar. This way you can obtain output to the side of the editor.
Just right click on the panel of output section then select "Move panel left or right" as per your wish.
here your can see the move panel left option.
Press CTRL + SHIFT + P
Select Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)
Insert (or change if it is there --search for it) the following config line:
"workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "right",
Save file.
That will work for new workspaces. VS-Code saves your preferences for each folder you start it in. So, if you navigate to a folder you previously called VS-Code in (I mean, from the terminal), it will open the output panel in the same location it was the last time you have used VS-Code from the same location.
After making the change above, go to a new place, like /opt and start VS-Code there to make a test.
