VSCode Tips & Tricks - Web Terminal

How would you like to be able to access the Web Terminal directly from your VSCode?

This is another entry in the VSCode Tips & Tricks - and it is quite similar to the previous one about the SOAP Wizard.

Same principal, and same result, though different use-case.

So assume you want to open the Web Terminal (and for those of you who are still not familiar with this excellent tool by the amazing @Nikita Savchenko check out it's home page) from VSCode - you can take a similar approach to the one I described in the previous article.

I'll outline the steps again -

• Open the ObjectScript Extension JSON Settings
• In the 'conn' object add a 'links' object
• Inside 'links' add this line

It will look like this -

This is mentioned in this VSCode ObjectScript's GitHub Issues discussion (about the ${...} variables used in the URL above), by @John Murray 

Here's a short GIF demonstrating this process (starting off with the standard menu, and finishing with the option to launch the Web Terminal) -
