Tip for VSCode users: Move your terminal to the right side (sh.itjust.works)

I use terminal in VSCode very often, so I almost always have it open. It defaults to opening at the bottom of the window, but if you move it to the side so it's stretched vertically, you gain so much more useable screen real estate for your actual code without sacrificing too much readability in the terminal.

Or even better — Right click on the terminal panel label and select the option to move it into the editor area.

The editor area has far more flexibility. Your terminal can be almost any size and you can have multiple terminals visible at once or a tab click away. If you need it to be larger you can drag the tab elsewhere to make it big without rearranging your window.

I also keep a terminal (or three) open permanently, but it's usually tiny - around 1500x400 pixels (that is tiny on my very large screen). Sometimes I'll move the terminal into a larger editor panel (which is about 5x that size).
