I want to run the select code of python in VScode. Till now, I have to copy the code and paste it in the terminal below to run. The system is mac OS.
So is there any way to run the code directly after I selected the code? For example, like the shortcuts.
Thanks.
There is no default keybindings for command "Run Selected Text in Active Terminal", but you can create one.
Press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+S to open File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts.
Search for workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText in keybindings.
Press the icon on the left to open a windnow with this message "Press desired key combination..." and make your choice. (I've pressed Ctrl+Alt+R - as this combination was not used yet.)
Press Enter to store your keybinding.
Tested on VSCode 1.30.2 on Windows 10 Pro.
#yanachen, this is now possible in VS Code. All you need to do is:
1. Ensure python is running in the VS Code terminal window
2. Select the text you wish to execute in python
3. Invoke the command 'workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText' as defined in the following link:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal#_key-bindings
Now it's supported by default shortcut "shift" + "enter".
select the proper code snippet
press "shift" + "enter"
Here is the setting for running selection in "interactive window."
In my VS Code (version 1.56.2), I do the following things: go to Settings, search for interactive window, in the resulting left panel choose Jupyter, and finally check the box next to Jupyter: Send selection to interactive window. That's it. One more step for some users (including me) is to modify the keybinding for running selection to your preference. For example, got to keyboard shortcuts, type run selection, you should see a list of keybindings and you may need to redefine them if conflicts exist.
Some language specific extensions have already an existing keybinding.
On Windows, for the PowerShell extension it is currently F8 to run the selected text.
Install the vscode extension Node.js Exec. then select the block of code you want to run and press f8. worked for me.

As shown in this screenshot there are 5 occurrences of the "Find" field. But hitting CMD-ENTER -as shown in the shortcut balloon help - does nothing.
Why is it not working/ what can be done to get it to to work? I detest using the mouse for extremely common operations especially Find/Replace.
It is a little odd that the binding is Cmd+Enter on the Mac, whereas it is Ctrl+Alt+Enter on Windows? Things to try:
The equivalent of Ctrl+Alt+Enter on the Mac (and you indicated that Cmd+Option+Enter does work).
Check in the Gear Icon/KeyboardShortcuts editor what the command editor.actions.replaceAll is bound to.
Check in the Keyboard Shortcuts (click on the little keyboard icon to the right and type Cmd+Enter) to see if it is bound to something besides editor.actions.replaceAll.
You can run the Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting command from the Command Palette, type Cmd+Enter and see what command vscode finds for that keybinding.
You indicated that Cmd+Option+Enter does work as you expect.
When I attempt to save my file on Visual Studio Code with the cmd+s keyboard shortcut, it does not save the code. I have to manually click File, the Save, just to be able to save my progress. I'm using macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 and VC Code version 1.55.2.
How do I fix this?
Attempts:
-Checked if ⌘ Cmd + S keyboard shortcut is tied to the Save functionality
If you do it right this solution will fix your issue.
I have never had a problem saving with VS-Code personally, but I have had issues with keybindings. IDK if you write your own keybindings, but if you do, you might want to check the keybindings that you have wrote to make sure they do not conflict with [CTRL + S]. The keybindings.json file that you create custom keybindings in, overrides the default keybindings.json file that defines the keybindings that VS-Code ships with.
To check your keybindings.json file...
Hit the F1-Key
A menu will drop open type in "Keyboard Shortcuts"
There will be two Preferences: Keyboard Shortcuts
Make sure to select Preferences: Keyboard Shortcuts and not Preferences: Default Keyboard Shortcuts
If the file is empty you are good. If you have keybindings written in the file, you need to iterate through them by hand, checking each one. Make sure that none use [CTRL + S] together. Even if the keybinding uses [CTRL + S] and other keys, you will need to disable it, so you can test if it is causing an issue.
Debugging [CTRL + S]
If your keybindings.json file is all good, then great, that's one thing to scratch off the list. The only thing left to do now is debug the Bound Key ("Key Binding"). To debug keybindings, you will use a built in tool, that VS-Code offers. To start do the following:
Hit the F1-Key
When the quick input drops open type the following into the text input:
"Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting"
Select the option: Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting
It should automatically open the OUTPUT panel, which is located in the same panel that your terminal is. Make sure that the OUTPUT is set to LOG(Window) in the drop down. (I took a picture and posted it below if you can't find the Keyboard Shortcut Troubleshooter).
The image might have funny declensions because I am on a dual monitor setup with 1 1080x1920 curved screen and one 1080x720 screen.... I cropped it to a STD HD 1920 width.
I Got My Trouble-shooter working, and Output open, now What Jay?
Okay... Well your at the right spot. Now every-time you press some keys, you should see your OUTPUT WINDOW working like crazy. It should be logging all sorts of stuff, which is good, very good.
This Part Is Important! READ CAREFULLY
What you want to do is use your keybinding that you feel isn't working appropriately. Use it when focus is set on an editor, use it when focus is set on a different editor, use it when focus is set on the sidebar. Where you are focused at in the editor at any given time can greatly affect a keybinding. The output is gonna write lines every-time you use your keybinding. Try not to hit any other keys while doing this, so you have a column in you output that includes logging from the keybinding you are testing only. Read the output see what it says. See if it looks right, or wrong. If it looks wrong, you can visit this link, to the VSCode site that covers this topic, and see if you can fix it your self. If you can't fix it your self, come back here, and edit your question. When you edit your question make sure that it includes the Troubleshooter's Logging Output.

Another thing to check for is, for lack of a better term, combination key bindings. For example, I was having an issue with ⌘+s. VSCode gave a message that it was waiting for the second key binding. After looking at the keybindings.json, I noticed I had a key binding for opening up user snippets as
{
"key": "cmd+s cmd+n",
"command": "workbench.action.openSnippets"
}
The ⌘+s portion of this key binding conflicted with the default ⌘+s
I've been working on a bunch of different projects in VSCode and just to clear up some space on my desktop I decided to quit all VSCode applications. Upon reopening it, the Interactive Terminal's text too small to read. I know you can just launch terminal and execute the same command but out of convince's sake I want to be able to increase the size of it again. Example of my issue
You can change the terminal display settings with this configuration in your settings.json.
I saw your photo, and it looks like there is some minor problem. Just reload your window - Command + R on macOS, or select Developer: Reload Window after opening the command palette. That should work.
I don't know why my code is auto formatted on save and for some reason changing the layout. I figured out this was due to auto format on save. How do I turn auto save off in Visual Studio Code?
For Windows:
Here are the some basics steps to be followed to turn off auto complete.
Step:1 - Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open Command Palette. Then screen like below image appears.
Step:2 - Type Save without formatting and click the matching option available. It either commands on click or redirects you to next interface.
If it works on click then it's fine and if your are redirected to next screen just uncheck auto format option under onsave. For me it worked on cick to the shown command.
For Mac:
Cmd+K S
This was introduced in back in 2018, the keybinding (on MacOS) is:
Cmd+K S
For keybindings for your own system, search for the command saveWithoutFormatting in the Command Palette
Default: Ctrl + k + Ctrl + Shift + s on 🪟 Windows.
For others having the same problem and if Save without format is inconvenient to do every time and if you want permanent settings for saving without format here are the steps:
Edit the settings.json file. You can do that with the command "Open Settings (JSON)"
press Command + Shift + P (to open the command palette)
and start typing the command "Open Settings (JSON)" and select from the suggestions.
The setting is named formatOnSave and you should set it to false, to disable it. It can be present multiple times for different types of things.
"editor.formatOnSave": false
It is best to search for "OnSave", because there might also be other settings that are doing formatting on Save, for example:
"editor.codeActionsOnSave"
In mac you can save without formatting with the following shortcut, (No need to touch the config):
If you don't want to open the command palette every-time, you can change the Ctrl/Cmd + S shortcut to make the action "Save without Formatting"
and remove the shortcut for "Save".
I'm trying to figure out which editor command is used when I press keys in different contexts. For example, I want to know which editor command is run when I press DownArrow while the quick fix widget is open, as shown:
How can I find out which command is run when I press a key in VS Code? The Keyboard Shortcuts search-by-key capability does not solve my problem.
