From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unironically: vscode terminal. It's the terminal that has less bugs when using shift+arrows to select text. I also use PowerShell because bash doesn't allow text selection with keyboard.
Same. Has anyone found a way to launch VS Code as just the terminal window? I've tried hacking around and doing stuff like using Zen Mode with just the terminal displayed, which is close, but I don't think that can be scripted, unfortunately.
You can open the terminal as if it were any other file, instead of the integrated terminal.
Could you elaborate on this? How do you open the VS Code terminal on its own?
F1 ->
>Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor AreaAh gotcha. That's not quite what I'm looking for. That opens a split-pane terminal in an existing window.
What I'm wanting to do is have something like this:
code --terminal-only. That would enable it to be launched from a script or shortcut and function as a standalone terminal application. Unfortunately, however, I've looked through VS Code's command-line options, and nothing like that seems to exist.
