Making a functional real terminal as a VSCode extension pseudoterminal

Primary LanguageTypeScript

PseudoTerminal Demo

An extension pseudoterminal that acts like a real terminal.

The VSCode Extension Terminal API is very limited, and the PseudoTerminal API provides little functionality out of the box. This pseudoterminal demo will mimic a real terminal allowing you to achieve the functionality you want in a VSCode extension.

Considered for use with CodeRoad, a VSCode coding tutorial extension.

Setup

  1. Open the extension in VSCode. Press
  2. F5 to open the "Extension Development Host". This will open a second VSCode development window.
  3. In the new development window, open the command pallete (ctrl/cmd + P) and run Pseudoterminal: Create.
