I’ve been using the terminal for 5 years.

99% of attempts at keeping valuable code snippets failed. Or having a useful command history.

Finally, I looked up how to send a line to terminal.

I use vscode since Atom was discontinued (looking forward to zed). But in the meanwhile, I just added

{
    "key": "ctrl+enter",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText",
    "when": "terminalProcessSupported && editorTextFocus && editorLangId =~ /shell|bash|zsh|fish/"
  }

Maybe it helps someone :)

With this, I can finally keep a history of all useful commands I run. Like I can have a systemd shell file where I store the commands that I ran. Or a file to store all my podman commands. Now I do not have to type them anymore, I can just run them.

      Thx! I’ve got zsh and ohmyzsh installed but my workflow hasn’t changed really. Also, I really want to store and see a command history.

      Back when I used traditional distros I hated that I had no history of user installed packages/apps

      Now I could just write a file and append all installs. With atomic distros, it’s clearer nowadays, but I can also save packages for later
