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.

              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.
