Supported consoles
The Open Command Line extension supports all types of consoles like cmd, PowerShell, Windows Terminal, Bash and more. You can easily configure which to use by setting the paths and arguments in the Options.
How it works
This extension adds a new command to the project context menu that will open a command prompt on the project's path. If the solution node is selection in Solution Explorer, then a console will open at the root of the .sln file.
You can access the command by hitting ALT+Space as well.
You may change this shortcut in the Options Window under Environment -> Keyboard
Look for the command ProjectAndSolutionContextMenus.Project.OpenCommandLine.Default
Execute batch file
You can easily execute any .cmd or .bat file. For files in your solution, a context-menu button shows up.
Alternatively, the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+5 can be used when
editing a batch file. This makes it really easy and fast to execute
any batch file - even ones that are not part of your project.
