Run Script in Terminal

This Visual Studio Code extension allows you to quickly send scripts from your editor to a terminal. You can send either a selected piece of code or the entire content of the active file.

Features

• Run Selection: Execute only the text you have selected in the active editor.
• Run Active File: Execute the entire content of the currently opened file.
• Smart Terminal Reuse: The extension will always try to use the currently active terminal. If no terminal is active, it will open a new one for you. This keeps your workspace clean and avoids creating unnecessary terminal windows.

Usage

You can run commands in two ways:

1. Command Palette:

   • Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac).
   • Type and select one of the following commands:
     • RunInTerminal: Selected selection
     • RunInTerminal: Active file

2. Editor Context Menu:

   • Right-click anywhere in the editor.
   • Choose one of the commands from the context menu:
     • RunInTerminal: Selected selection
     • RunInTerminal: Active file

Demo

The following animation demonstrates the extension's primary features: running the entire file content and running a selected piece of code in the VS Code integrated terminal.
