Defines the interface of a terminal pty, enabling extensions to control a terminal.

Properties(4)

onDidWrite

onDidWrite: Event<string>

An event that when fired will write data to the terminal. Unlike Terminal.sendText which sends text to the underlying child pseudo-device (the child), this will write the text to parent pseudo-device (the terminal itself).

Note writing \n will just move the cursor down 1 row, you need to write \r as well to move the cursor to the left-most cell.

Events fired before Pseudoterminal.open is called will be be ignored.

Example: Write red text to the terminal

const writeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<string>();
const pty: vscode.Pseudoterminal = {
  onDidWrite: writeEmitter.event,
  open: () => writeEmitter.fire('\x1b[31mHello world\x1b[0m'),
  close: () => {}
};
vscode.window.createTerminal({ name: 'My terminal', pty });

Example: Move the cursor to the 10th row and 20th column and write an asterisk

writeEmitter.fire('\x1b[10;20H*');

Optional onDidOverrideDimensions

onDidOverrideDimensions: Event<undefined | TerminalDimensions>

An event that when fired allows overriding the dimensions of the terminal. Note that when set, the overridden dimensions will only take effect when they are lower than the actual dimensions of the terminal (ie. there will never be a scroll bar). Set to undefined for the terminal to go back to the regular dimensions (fit to the size of the panel).

Events fired before Pseudoterminal.open is called will be be ignored.

Example: Override the dimensions of a terminal to 20 columns and 10 rows

const dimensionsEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<vscode.TerminalDimensions>();
const pty: vscode.Pseudoterminal = {
  onDidWrite: writeEmitter.event,
  onDidOverrideDimensions: dimensionsEmitter.event,
  open: () => {
    dimensionsEmitter.fire({
      columns: 20,
      rows: 10
    });
  },
  close: () => {}
};
vscode.window.createTerminal({ name: 'My terminal', pty });

Optional onDidClose

onDidClose: Event<number | void>

An event that when fired will signal that the pty is closed and dispose of the terminal.

Events fired before Pseudoterminal.open is called will be be ignored.

A number can be used to provide an exit code for the terminal. Exit codes must be positive and a non-zero exit codes signals failure which shows a notification for a regular terminal and allows dependent tasks to proceed when used with the CustomExecution API.

Example: Exit the terminal when "y" is pressed, otherwise show a notification.

const writeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<string>();
const closeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<void>();
const pty: vscode.Pseudoterminal = {
  onDidWrite: writeEmitter.event,
  onDidClose: closeEmitter.event,
  open: () => writeEmitter.fire('Press y to exit successfully'),
  close: () => {},
  handleInput: data => {
    if (data !== 'y') {
      vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Something went wrong');
    }
    closeEmitter.fire();
  }
};
const terminal = vscode.window.createTerminal({ name: 'Exit example', pty });
terminal.show(true);

Optional onDidChangeName

onDidChangeName: Event<string>

An event that when fired allows changing the name of the terminal.

Events fired before Pseudoterminal.open is called will be be ignored.

Example: Change the terminal name to "My new terminal".

const writeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<string>();
const changeNameEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<string>();
const pty: vscode.Pseudoterminal = {
  onDidWrite: writeEmitter.event,
  onDidChangeName: changeNameEmitter.event,
  open: () => changeNameEmitter.fire('My new terminal'),
  close: () => {}
};
vscode.window.createTerminal({ name: 'My terminal', pty });

Methods(4)

open

  • Implement to handle when the pty is open and ready to start firing events.

    Parameters

    • initialDimensions: undefined | TerminalDimensions

      The dimensions of the terminal, this will be undefined if the terminal panel has not been opened before this is called.

    Returns void

close

  • close(): void
  • Implement to handle when the terminal is closed by an act of the user.

    Returns void

Optional handleInput

  • handleInput(data: string): void
  • Implement to handle incoming keystrokes in the terminal or when an extension calls Terminal.sendText. data contains the keystrokes/text serialized into their corresponding VT sequence representation.

    Parameters

    • data: string

      The incoming data.

      Example: Echo input in the terminal. The sequence for enter (\r) is translated to CRLF to go to a new line and move the cursor to the start of the line.

      const writeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<string>();
      const pty: vscode.Pseudoterminal = {
        onDidWrite: writeEmitter.event,
        open: () => {},
        close: () => {},
        handleInput: data => writeEmitter.fire(data === '\r' ? '\r\n' : data)
      };
      vscode.window.createTerminal({ name: 'Local echo', pty });
      

    Returns void

Optional setDimensions

  • Implement to handle when the number of rows and columns that fit into the terminal panel changes, for example when font size changes or when the panel is resized. The initial state of a terminal's dimensions should be treated as undefined until this is triggered as the size of a terminal isn't known until it shows up in the user interface.

    When dimensions are overridden by onDidOverrideDimensions, setDimensions will continue to be called with the regular panel dimensions, allowing the extension continue to react dimension changes.

    Parameters

    Returns void
