Add a way to initialize new terminals #2261

Open vscodebot[bot] opened 4 years ago

vscodebot[bot] commented 4 years ago

For basically all my projects, I have a dev-session.sh script that sets up environment variables and paths for language runtimes (usually NodeJS and Python.)

Every time I open a new terminal in VSCode, I run source dev-session.sh.

It would save me a lot of key presses over the years if VSCode could add a way to automatically initialize new terminal windows.

One way to do this would be to make a general version of the vscode-python python.terminal.activateEnvironment option. For example an option like terminal.integrated.shellSetupCommand that I could set to a string like "source dev-session.sh".

All this would need to do is wait 500ms after a new terminal is opened, then write the contents of the setting followed by "\n".
