I’m reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.

    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.

          Could you elaborate on this? How do you open the VS Code terminal on its own?

              Ah 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.
