I've been using the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code a lot since it was added, but I noticed a very frustrating feature/bug.
I am using the Windows 10 Bash terminal, and cannot seem to access the previous command history by using the "Up" arrows. Did this get remapped to another key or does it simply not work?
Found the answer by accident, after accidentally hitting a few keys. It seems the most common commands have been mapped to the following defaults:
Previous Command: Ctrl+P
Next Command: Ctrl+N
Cursor Left: Ctrl+B (backwards)
Cursor Right: Ctrl+F (forwards)
Cursor Home: Ctrl+A
Cursor End: Ctrl+E (end)
Delete from cursor position: Ctrl+D (del)
Clear Screen: Ctrl+L
Previous command to work: Keyboard shortcuts-> Right click on Go to File... -> Change when expression -> !terminalFocus Otherwise, Ctrl + P would always open the Go to file menuThis is not directly related to previous commands, but you can define keyboard short cuts for terminal commands in your keybindings.json for commonly used commands.
Here is an example of a command I created a short cut for:
//Run expo go in terminal { "key": "ctrl+shift+e", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence", "args": { "text": "npx expo start" } } create new terminal that's the best thing that you can do
