Use cmder as your default terminal in vscode
April 4 | Vs
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:
-
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%
-
In VSCode open configurations and setup the next json values | Use
Ctrl + ,
to open settings.jsonsettings.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 _/
