In Visual Studio Code when I open the application I have to re-open the integrated terminal window every time.
Do you know the steps to have the CLI pane open as soon as the application loads by default without manually doing ctrl-backtick every time?
You can try the following:
Install an extension: Auto Run
Command.
Reload Visual Studio Code after installation.
In settings ctrl+, add following:
"auto-run-command.rules": [
{
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.new",
},
],
No built in way to do this , however you can submit a feature request here.
Or wait for this extension to mature.
I'm new, so I can't post comments yet. But I think an improvement to the solution offered by #victor-s is to use workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal, since that won't create a new terminal if one is already open.

I am setting up my VS Code environment for the first time, but I can't figure out how to set Chrome as the default browser for the workspace.
Go to file-> preferences -> user settings -> search "By Default it will open your default favorite browser" set your browser.
The other StackOverflow questions regarding the browser, had to do with opening a specific file. Here are the steps to creating a tasks.json file in a brand new environment.
From the Tasks menu, Select 'Configure Tasks'
The entry field prompts you for 'Select a task to configure'
Choose 'Create tasks.json file from template'
Edit the file to include the following block:
{
"version": "0.1.0",
"command": "Chrome",
"windows": {
"command": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
},
"args": ["${file}"]
}
Chrome can be launched by way of debugging your application. Within launch.json, the configurations[].serverReadyAction.action configuration was given a possible value of debugWithChrome in the VS Code February 2019 release. Note that this will also require you have the Debugger for Chrome extension installed. You will not receive a warning if the extension is not installed and you've configured launch.json to use debugWithChrome.
Note: Configuring launch.json with debugWithChrome will work even if you launch using CTRL+F5 to run the app without debugging.
Go to Settings -> Extensions -> Live Server Config -> Update Default Browser:
This Alternate Way helped me:)
GoTo-->Google Chrome-->Settings-->Default browser-->Set Google Chrome as default browser
The method of modifying tasks.json no longer works in newer versions of Visual Studio Code. The easiest way to be able to launch your code in a browser is to install the Open in Browser extension from the marketplace.
After it is installed and VS Code is reloaded, you can go to your code and press ALT + B to launch your application in your default browser or ALT + SHIFT + B to select the browser you want to use.
You can also right click and select these option from a drop down menu, but I mention this last because this currently does not work in some versions of VS Code.
Just a helper for the windows users, I just installed windows 10 again and I was wondering how do I set my vscode to open the server (web) using chrome instead of edge, so to do that you just have to configure your windows to use google chrome as default, you don't need to change anything in vscode, I hope this helps someone.
ps: normally you can go open browser you want to be default and setup the configuration. so in chrome you have to go to configurations and scroll down to default browser.
When you want to use your own browser using "Open with Live Server" without change OS globally configuration.
In Windows, Visual Studio Code (ver. 1.70.1 (July 2022)). Go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Settings"
Then select a tab, "User" tab if you want your desired browser for all your projects, or select "Workspace" tab or "ProjectName" tab for especified projects.
Then go to "Extensions" > "Live Server Config" > "Settings: Custom Browser" finally change the 'null' value selecting the browser of your preference from the list (apparently this list depends on installed browsers but i'm not sure).
search for local.testsettings on vscode on the search and for web tests, change the browser to chrome and apply.
The Live Server extension was not appearing for me on settings. However, I installed Open in Browser and typed "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser" in settings and the extension appeared with a dropdown box in which I was able to change the default browser.
Hope this helps!
This may be old but I found something that could help.
First go to Settings/Apps/Default Apps. Set your browser as default.
Next go to VSCODE and go to File/Preferences/Settings/Extensions/LiveServerConfig
Then scroll to settings: CustomBrowser
Change it to your custom browser
Note- If the browsers don't show up on VSCODE then you need to set it to default in the settings.
You can adjust settings in your computer to open.HTML file extensions in chrome as a default browser:
for Example in PC windows:
go to Control Panel > Default programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a specific programs >HTML extension and choose Chrome.
In my case changing the default browser in the system settings of my pc did it.
None of the above works in my case(my version is August 2022 1.71) to make it work I went straight to **
File-->Preferences-->Settings-->Extensions-->Plugin open-in browser
** from there was a option which says Default set browser so I choose Brave as there is no ads in it while playing the video as chrome plays ads so for getting a proper feeling of using my self made Jarvis I used Brave.
Thanks
Click settings -> enter: default browser -> find: Open-in-browser:Default -> enter: Google Chrome
Google Chrome > Settings (left sidebar) > Default browser = Google Chrome
Just change your default web browser in your OS.
In Windows 10, you can search "default browser" then the wizard for changing it, will be appear.
during typying code and auto save in vscode, output tab automatically running. It's so uncomfortable.
is there are anyone who give me some help?
I've been trying to my self but I didn't find solution
This happens when code-runner extension is installed in vs code.
Disable code-runner extension and reload the vs code.
I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro version 1903 build 18362.116 and Visual Studio Code. Now the integrated terminal only launches externally.
Pressing Ctrl + ~ results in this.
What am I missing? How do I get it to open integrated again?
EDIT
After working with VSCode team it is a verified bug. See the Github issue here. I posted the workaround as an answer here.
OK, worked through this one in VSCode repo issues.
For now, until it's fixed, turn off ConPTY integration in the User Settings.
💥💥💥
The issue now says use legacy console. To change the setting open a cmd prompt. Right click the title to bring up properties.
Then Uncheck 'Use legacy console'
To change the integrated terminal on Windows, you just need to change the terminal.integrated.shell.windows line:
Open VS User Settings (Preferences > User Settings). This will open two side-by-side documents.
Check if "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" has value "C:\\Bin\\Cmder\\Cmder.exe" setting to the User Settings document on the right.
Remove this line.
Ctrl + ~ will now open integrated terminal of VSCode.
If the above solution doesn't work then can you try below values and check if it works for you:
// Command Prompt
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe"
// PowerShell
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"
// Git Bash
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"
// Bash on Ubuntu (on Windows)
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe"
From the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), use the View: Toggle Integrated Terminal command.
Try custom shortcut:
[
{
"key": "ctrl+`",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal"
}
]
Had this problem fixed. Found the solution from the VS Code support.
for error:
Terminal exits with code 3221225786 (or similar)#
"This can happen when you have legacy console mode enabled in conhost's properties. To change this, open cmd.exe from the start menu, right-click the title bar, go to Properties and under the Options tab, uncheck Use legacy console."

I have installed Open in browser visual studio extension. But when I try to open the browser by shortcut Alt+B. It fails showing the following:
Running the contributed

Go to settings --> Extensions --> Open in Browser and set a default browser. In my case I have set it to "chrome" (it can be "firefox" too), so it opens in chrome every time I use the extension.

its solving my problem i hope its work to you
If the above solution didn't work install its previous version
Vote up If this Helped !!
Is it possible out of the box or using extensions to add a custom command in the Command Palette in Visual Studio Code like "External Tools" as in the IDE from JetBrains or in Visual Studio?
I would like to be able to run custom bash/cmd command directly from the Command Palette.
You can either use VS Code built-in functionality using shortcuts. Just add to keybindings.json:
{
"key": "cmd+shift+R",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
"args": {
"text": "clear; rails server\u000D"
}
},
Or you can take a look at this extension: Command Runner
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=usernamehw.commands
This extension can run it from custom Quick Pick (like command palette, but shows only your items). Command id is commands.openAsQuickPick
There's no api to seamlessly add commands to Command Palette #1422, but it's possible to modify package.json what that extension does when this setting is enabled:
"commands.populateCommandPalette": true,
With this setting it will not update Command Palette until the editor is reloaded. It might be an ok experience if you don't do that very often.
You can use multiCommand Extention to build your custom commands, which you can access through the Command Palette. Ctrl+Shift+P > Multi command > custom command.
I know it's not ideal, but I guess you can open multi command with a key binding and then it's almost what you want. Plus the feature that you can execute multiple commands with this extension.
This guy wrote something where you can customize the toolbar. https://github.com/AdamAnandUS/AdamsTool
Maybe add to it with a new StatusBarItem that registers a command you want to run.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/vscode-api#commands.registerCommand
There are also many VS Code Extensions that might do what you want already. https://stackify.com/top-visual-studio-code-extensions/
Go to tools, External tools in visual Studio. Click Add, name the new command then you can point to a batch file command using the browse ellipses. When you save it, you will then see the new menu item under tools.
