Change default terminal app in Visual Studio Code on Mac
iterm2, terminal, visual-studio-code
Solution
Here's an example of how to make another terminal the default for VSCode, in this example I've downloaded iTerm2 and copied iTerm2 to Applications.
- Code (Menu) > Preferences > User Settings
- Edit settings.json `"terminal.external.osxExec": "iTerm.app"` and `"terminal.explorerKind": "external"`
- Open in Terminal
- iTerm is now default terminal launched from VSCode
Problem
I want to change the default terminal app used by Visual Studio Code for Mac. I am thinking it is part of preferences or settings json, but unsure.
