This extension (primarily written to solve this problem) does its best to prevent your vscode editor from ever becoming a cyborg (half editor, half terminal). Any time that split can occur, this extension either fully opens or fully closes the terminal.
The extension should start working automatically after installation.
It is also recommended to update your preferred keyboard
binding (in keybindings.json) for panel toggling to use the
VS Code command
workbench.action.toggleMaximizedPanel (as opposed to
workbench.action.togglePanel) to ensure that you
are always fully opening or closing the panel. For example,
{
"key": "ctrl+t",
"command": "workbench.action.toggleMaximizedPanel"
},There are many ways that a terminal/editor can be opened in VS Code. This extension has considered the following cases:
Opening via both single-click and double-click works.
If there are any other cases you'd like this extension to consider, please open an issue for it.
