Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut (Mac and Linux) to switch the focus between editor and integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code?

 

In Visual Studio Code (VS Code), you can switch the focus between the editor and the integrated terminal using keyboard shortcuts. Here are the default keyboard shortcuts for Mac and Linux:

• Mac:

  • To focus on the integrated terminal: Ctrl +
  • To focus back on the editor: Ctrl + (Backtick key, usually located under the Escape key)

• Linux:

  • To focus on the integrated terminal: Ctrl +
  • To focus back on the editor: Ctrl + (Backtick key, usually located under the Escape key)

Here's an example of how to use these shortcuts in VS Code:

1. Open Visual Studio Code.

2. Open a file in the editor.

3. To switch to the integrated terminal, press Ctrl + (the backtick key). You will see the cursor focus in the terminal.

4. You can now type commands in the integrated terminal.

5. To switch back to the editor, press Ctrl + (the backtick key) again. The cursor focus will return to the editor, and you can continue editing your code.

These keyboard shortcuts can help streamline your workflow in VS Code when you need to alternate between writing code and running terminal commands.
