Neo — VS Code extension
[^] Opens a Neo terminal in an editor tab, ready to work on the project you have open.
Getting started
- Open your project folder in VS Code.
- Click
[^] Neo in the status bar.
- The first time in a project, Neo offers to install itself. Accept, and the terminal opens when it
finishes.
Three ways to open the terminal, all equivalent:
- the
[^] Neo item in the status bar
Neo: Open Terminal in the Command Palette
- the Neo profile in the terminal
+ dropdown
The extension stores no credentials and calls no service — sign-in lives in the project's .env.
Add a keybinding
None ships by default. In Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON):
{ "key": "cmd+alt+s", "command": "neo.openTerminal" }
Settings

neo.terminalName |

Tab name for the opened terminal. |
neo.terminalCommand |
neo |
Name looked up on your PATH when the project has no Neo installed in it. |
On Windows
Neo does not install itself automatically. Run this once from the project directory:
irm -Uri "https://swarm.teamexpertly.com/download/public/installer/install.ps1" -MaximumRedirection 0 | iex
The terminal + dropdown profile also opens your default shell rather than Neo — use the status bar
item or the Command Palette instead.
