Open a terminal in a visual studio?

Question

Open a terminal in a visual studio?

I'm looking now, but I just can't find a way to open a terminal for shell commands in Visual Studio (Commuity Version).

Can anyone help?

From comments the best answer from @Hans Passant

1) Add an external tool.

Tools> External Tools> Add
Title: Terminal (or name it yourself)
Command = cmd.exe or Command = powershell.exe
Arguments = / k
Start Directory = $ (ProjectDir)

2) Tools> Terminal (or whatever you put in the header)

3) Enjoy!

As a tricky solution, you can use the Package Manager Console to execute cmd or PowerShell.

Shortcut for the package manager console Alt T N O

Tested on Visual Studio 2017 Community Version

Not sure if this will help, but I usually pull the command line by going to the “Sync” tab in Team Explorer and clicking “Actions”

When the command line opens, it is located in the project directory.

Right-click on your solution and over the properties indicated above, the "Command line" option opens, which provides access to the standard cmd, powershell and developer commands. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts Alt + Space for the default value (cmd), Shift + Alt +, for Dev (cmd). Shift + Alt +. for powershell

Visual Studio is the worst editor, because at first it does not contain a terminal window, and when I install the shock terminal, it doesn’t work most of the time when I can’t type it

For the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 community, use CTR + ALT + A

alternatively from the command bar view-> Other Windows-> Command Window
