Setting up Code Runner

By default, code runner uses its own panel for showing the results after you run your python script. However, it’s better to set it up in a way that it will show the results in the integrated terminal.

  • Press ctrl+, to open up the settings panel

  • On the search bar type code runner terminal

  • You should be able to see an option named Code-runner: Run In Terminal

  • Check off the option and you are good to go 🍰
