Steps to set customized external terminal in VS Code

Pandiyan Murugan3 Comments

Step 1:

Go to File -> Preferences -> User settings

Step 2:

Add one of the following line based on the environment to settings.json file

// to run on OS X
"terminal.external.osxExec": "Terminal.app"
// to run on linux
"terminal.external.linuxExec": "xterm"
// to run windows
"terminal.external.windowsExec": "%COMSPEC%"

For example, if we want to set Git Bash as an external terminal. We can achieve it by providing Git bash exe URL as follows

"terminal.external.windowsExec": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"

Restart the VS Code instance to apply the settings.

Keyboard Shortcut to open external terminal in VS Code is Ctrl + Shift + C

Happy Coding 🙂

Steps to make Adobe Reader to remember last visited page number

I’m using Adobe Reader to read pdf files for very long time. Recently, I have installed Adobe Digital Edition to view some files. I’ve experienced that, Adobe Digital Edition is remembering the page number which I’ve visited before and is available by default.

Adobe Reader also having this feature, but we need to enable this if needed.

So, here is the steps:

  1. Goto Eidt  -> Preferences or Ctrl+K
  2. Under Documents Category, Enable the option “Restore last view settings when reopening documents“
  3. Click OK
