Running the Current Editor Line in VS Code Terminal

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a powerful code editor that offers various features to streamline your coding process. One common challenge developers face in VS Code is running the current line of code in the terminal and then quickly moving the cursor to the next line. If you've ever found yourself wishing for this functionality, you're in the right place! In this guide, we’ll provide a solution that will save you time and keep your workflow smooth.

The Problem at Hand

The issue at the forefront is how to send the line of code where your cursor is currently positioned to the active terminal in VS Code, without manually copying and pasting it. While options like shift + enter allow you to send the line to a new Python terminal, they don't provide a straightforward way to execute the command in the active terminal while moving to the next line in the editor. This can disrupt your flow, especially if you are executing multiple lines of code in succession.

Solution: Keybinding Setup

To solve this problem, VS Code allows users to create custom keybindings. Below are the steps and the specific configuration needed to run your current line of code in the terminal and move your cursor down after executing the command.

Step-by-Step Keybinding Configuration

Open Keybindings File:

In VS Code, navigate to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Click on the icon in the upper right corner that opens the keybindings.json file.

Add the Following Keybinding:
Copy and paste the following JSON code into your keybindings.json file:

Understanding the Code:

"key": "ctrl+b": You can change this to any key combination that suits you.

cursorEnd and cursorHomeSelect: These commands effectively select the current line.

"echo '${selectedText}'\u000D": This is where the magic happens. The command runs automatically because \u000D represents the return action.

cursorDown: This command moves the cursor down, ready for your next line.

Test Your Keybinding

Once you've added the above configuration, you can test it by placing your cursor on a line of code and pressing the key combination (ctrl+b). The line should execute in your active terminal, and your cursor should move to the line below, ready for new coding instructions.

Conclusion

By configuring this simple keybinding in VS Code, you can significantly enhance your coding efficiency. Not only can you run the current line in the terminal with ease, but you can also keep your workflow uninterrupted by having the cursor automatically advance to the next line. Happy coding!
