Cmder shell in VScode

Cmder shell in VScode

Q: Can I use Cmder's shell with the terminal on Windows?

A: Yes, to use the Cmder shell in VS Code, you need to create a vscode.bat file in your cmder path with the following contents:

@echo off
SET CurrentWorkingDirectory=%CD%
SET CMDER_ROOT=C:\cmder (your path to cmder)
CALL "%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat"
CD /D %CurrentWorkingDirectory%

then in your VS Code user settings, add the following to your settings.json file:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["/K", "C:\\cmder\\vscode.bat"]
