Here is how to setup and use Cmder in VSCode Terminal on Windows:

  • Open VSCode Command Palette in View → Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
  • Search for Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)
  • Add the following lines into your configuration file:
{
  "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "cmd.exe",
  "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
    "/K",
    "C:\\cmder\\vendor\\init.bat"
  ],
  // Your other settings ...
}
  • Restart VSCode

Make sure that you replace C:\\cmder with your actual Cmder directory. If everything works correctly, you will see Cmder in VSCode terminal.
