Change the number of lines shown in Visual Studio Code's built-in Terminal

Question

I'm using the terminal which is integrated in Visual Studio Code. When I scroll up it shows the previous lines, but they are not enough for me. I need to see more lines.

How can I increase the total number of lines that are displayed by the terminal in VS Code?

Answer 1

There is a way to change number of lines for that you have to go:

file-->preferences-->configuration

Then, it will open file settings.json you should to search Integrated terminal and then you search for terminal.integrated.scrollback copy and paste this sentence on your user configuration so like this:

Change numbers of line as you want. That is it.

Answer 2

1. Go to File -> Preferences -> Settings

2. Search for terminal and open settings.json

3. Add new line to settings.json

     "terminal.integrated.scrollback": 100000000,
   

Answer 3

Visual Studio Code Version 1.47.3, You can do it in Files --> Preferences --> Settings then select Feature/Terminal menu. Find the "Integrated:Scrollback" property and change it. Save the settings.

Answer 4

Fastest way just in case:

1. Hit Ctrl + , (or Cmd + , on Mac)
2. Search for terminal.integrated.scrollback
3. Update 1000 to something bigger like 1000000 (see warning below)

Warning:

After a year I noticed that resizing the left panel width of VScode was freezing the editor for a few seconds. I lowered this number from 100000000 to 1000000. If you notice your VSCode is lagging or freezing, choose a lower number here.
