How can I run text selected in the active editor in VS Code’s integrated terminal?

by

There is no default keybindings for command “Run Selected Text in Active Terminal”, but you can create one.

  • Press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+S to open File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts.
  • Search for workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText in keybindings.
  • Press the icon on the left to open a windnow with this message “Press desired key combination…” and make your choice. (I’ve pressed Ctrl+Alt+R – as this combination was not used yet.)
  • Press Enter to store your keybinding.

Tested on VSCode 1.30.2 on Windows 10 Pro.
