default always powershell

[parthi2929]

Hi Even with your configuration, the default is always powershell. I want bash as default, but doing that via default shell option only introduces a new line apart from your config in user settings. Please guide how to avoid powershell. make bash as default shell and still user your launch.

terminal.integrated.shell.windows defines the terminal used by vscode integrated terminal, setting this should not affect this extension since the shell get set explicitly by each configuration. Are you sure you're running the correct command? The SO answer recommends adding a keybinding.

I did keybinding also. Anyway problem partly solved. I wish I had both terminals available at once when I open VS code, but now every time I need to open additional terminal by keyboard binding.

@parthi2929 opening VS Code will restore the panel and since the extension isn't even loaded yet and there's no API to do this you can't. You could override the default terminal keybinding with this though if you want to see it less: ctrl+shift+`
