Configure VSCode to use the console emulator instead of the command line

Question

Can I configure VSCode to use the console emulator instead of the command line?

I want to use something like conemu, but I don't want to use "force conemu as the default terminal for console applications" in conemu.

He has a special warning “the inclusion of this option can cause false alarms in antivirus programs,” and I am on my working computer.

Answer 1

They just implemented this function:

You will have the user settings externalTerminal.windowsExec and externalTerminal.linuxExec , where you can determine which console emulator to use.

In my case, I am in windows using conEmu. My user settings (settings.json) are configured as follows:

{ "externalTerminal.windowsExec": "conEmu64.exe" } 

EDIT: It is already available in a stable version.

Answer 2

I just wrote a simple extension that overrides the Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+C key binding using the console.open command defined by this extension.

It does not work with the "Open at command prompt" context menu item.
