Hello,

I'd like to share the idea that far manager could be integrated into Visual Studio Code.
Thanks.

Are you seeking assistance on how to integrate Far Manager into VS Code? Or are you simply informing the community about the possibility of doing so?

I'm seeking assistance.

To incorporate Far Manager into your Visual Studio Code environment as a terminal option, edit your settings.json file to include:

  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "Far Manager": {
      "path": "C:\\Far\\Far.exe"
    }
  }

Once this is configured, you can launch a new terminal instance by pressing Ctrl+~. At the top-right of the Terminal pane, use the + button, which has a drop-down arrow, to choose Far Manager as the terminal. You can also set it as the default terminal through this menu.

OK. Thanks. Exactly what i was searching.

VS code, same as VS, has an integrated terminal.
You can run Far there and it will look and feel quite integrated.

For cases like mine, to use Far as command line on steroids with hidden panels and the current directory set to VSCode current:

  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "Far": {
      "path": "C:\\Bin\\Far\\x64\\Far.exe",
      "args": ["-set:Panel.Left.Visible=false", "-set:Panel.Right.Visible=false", "-set:Panel.Left.Folder=.", "-set:Panel.Right.Folder=."]
    },

Thank you. Just for the reference, sometimes you want to run the terminal inside your working folder, in this case you need to replace . with ${workspaceFolder}. A list of all variables you can use is here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference

${workspaceFolder} is definitely better than .
Especially because of this unexpected effect - #746 (comment)
