Amazing VSCode Extension

#vscode #programming #extension #terminal

Intro

As you know Terminal is one of the most essential tools that we use.

But in VSCode we have to use following ways to open terminal:

Shortcut
- ctrl + '(MacOS)
- alt + ' (Windows)
Top Menu > Terminal

Sometimes we need Terminal access in our hands.

Extension

So, I am inspired from Jetbrains products such as PhpStorm, WebStorm or etc. which has Terminal button on bottom status bar (bottom menu) as below image:

And that is why I decided to create an extension to access my favorite thing - CLI easily, with one click.

Installation

You can easily download this extension from VSCode Extensions (Marketplace)
Just search for bottom-terminal in Extensions Tab as below:

And ta dammm 🎉. Now we have Terminalbutton on bottom menu, so we can easily open it. Good codings 😉

Here is the link to the extension and github repo.

Thanks for the extension...
A small suggestion: As after opening the terminal we already have button on the top to add new instance maybe better use case would be to modify the extension to just toggle terminal instead of adding new one.
