How to focus to the integrated terminal while it is showing?
https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-macos.pdf
There's a shortcut to show the integrated terminal. But that will hide the terminal if it's already open. It would be nice if there's a shortcut to focus on terminal while typing on editor.
What you are looking for is the Terminal: Focus Terminal command. By default it's not assigned to a shortcut but you can easily do this using the keyboard shortcut preferences.
You can also call it from the Command Palette by pressing the F1 and typing Focus Terminal
.
Keep in mind that this command will also create a new integrated terminal window if one is not already active.
To access the keyboard shortcuts preferences, activate the Command Palette by pressing F1 and then type open keyboard shortcuts
. To assign new shortcut for a command, press the +
symbol visible on the left side of a row. Popup will appear where you should record your desired keys.
