Cmder is a powerful console emulator that has a lot of features and brings some of the joy of working in terminal from macos/linux to windows. I've been using it for a while and always forget how to configure in visual studio code, so, follow these two steps to configure as default terminal:

1. Create a bat file in your Cmder folder

    vscode.bat

               
   
   @echo off
   SET CurrentWorkingDirectory=%CD%
   SET CMDER_ROOT=C:\cmder
   CALL "%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat"
   CD /D %CurrentWorkingDirectory%
               
               
           

2. In VSCode open configurations and setup the next json values | Use Ctrl + , to open settings.json

    settings.json

               
   
   "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
   "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["/K", "C:\\cmder\\vscode.bat"],
   "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Fira Mono for Powerline", /_ Font is optional _/
