If you work with automations and different scripts a lot, you might find that sending commands directly from VS Code editor to terminal speeds up your development a lot. This works with all kind files including markdown!
Open Show all commands (Windows: Ctrl-shift-p or F1).
Open Preferences: Open keyboard shortcuts.
Find Terminal: Run Selected Text In Active Terminal and set that be your
preferred shortcut e.g., shift-enter.
Note: You need to then search with that shortcut to remove other shortcuts that might overlap with your selection.
Now you're ready to test this. Just create any file and put some command to it e.g.
echo "Sending command from file"Then shift-enter when cursor is on that line and then it will be automatically executed in active terminal.
For multi-line commands you just select all that text that should be send to terminal.
If you want enhanced scripting experience, then you might want to install Send snippet to Terminal VS Code extension.
