Weird Vscode terminal/output - visual-studio

Hey i was coding a C program with vscode today and out of nowhere when I runned my code through code runner the output looked like this
and when I switched it to the regular bash terminal it looks like this
It seems to run the program fine and for bash it runs terminal commands normally so this might only be the font of the terminal.. How can i fix this back?
this is my settings.json
Edit: Typing on the terminal made me realized that as I type, the text cursor comes glitched in the already printed text which might mean that it is not only the fault of the font?

Terminal in VS Code won't correctly show last command

I am currently using Visual Studio Code for my local development. I use the terminal for commands but have realized it will sometimes input something like ^[[A instead of the last command I ran when I hit the up button. This is occurring on Bash and my zsh terminal. I am using a Mac as well. Is there any further configuration I need to do in order to show my last command and not this weird symbol that keeps showing up?
The command shows up like this
Okay, I think this solution helped: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40347121/19633998
Basically all boils down to what sort of configuration your terminal has. Mine was defaulted to bin/zsh. Changed it to bin/bash and it seems to be working at the moment.

Scrolling up one line in bash, when opened via the PyCharm IDE

PyCharm offers the option to use the bash terminal (see File->Setting, where this screen comes up:)
Now when I have the bash terminal open while coding in PyCharm, like so
and want to scroll up line by line with the keyboard (in this case to view line by line the output of the previous command, pytest, that I ran that output the error message), I can't, no combination of Ctrl, Sift, Alt, Super, Up, Page Up will work (only Shift+Page Up scrolls up - but by a whole page, not a line, which is too much).
I'm not sure, is this because of bash or because of Pycharm (I'm using Ubuntu (16.04), if that matters).
This issue is really driving me nuts!

characters not showing properly in git bash integrated terminal visual studio code

here is what is happening
I had no issue when i installed it first, everything was fine, but second time i opened my VSC this happend.
I tried changing to xterm-256color but it didn't work.
The data in screenshot showed terminal escape characters that changed
the text color back and forth.
and the thing that received output did not know how to handle those
(not a real terminal emulator) (but thought output is a tty)
You could try to set term to 'dumb'

How to get colourful integrated terminal ("cmd") in VS Code

Recently after updating my VS Code I saw the following image in the Release Notes (in the Split terminal feature section)
I can't figure out a way to add such Syntax Highlighting in my terminal. Obviously, this is bash in the integrated terminal. Well, I'm using Command prompt and I don't seem to find any satisfying answer for getting colored text on my terminal (that does not mean just foreground or background color). Mine looks like...
Is there a way to fill this dull terminal with interesting text colors.
The upper one is the output of something called "node"
the second one is your terminal
so the first one is an outputstream of e.g. an program which formats stuff a bit else, also is output of an program in a terminal displayed differently than just the shell
and now to your question, the shell inside vscode has the same theme like your standard shell
so windows -> cmd, ubuntu bash, ...

How to run Octave from a Notepad++ file line by line or by sections?

I am looking for a way to have my Notepad++ window open for editing my code and run it line by line or by sections (more than 1 line) while I am editing. It would be like having a real IDE; the output could be shown in the same window (Notepad++) or directly in the Octave window.
I have tried what many many sites say. That is, writing this:
C:\Software\Octave-3.6.4\bin\Octave\Octave-3.6.5.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
in the Run window in Notepad++, saving and giving it a shortcut. However, it is still not working. When I tried to run it, the black window starts showing-up but then it disappears and nothing else happens. In my Notepad++ window I have only one line (for now) where I have tried just "b=4" or "3*4". I have done this with and without semicolon at the end. Nothing happens.
I have Windows 8.0, Notepad 6.5.5 and Octave-3.6.4. I already change the octaverc file in Octave to make it work with Notepad++. I have work already only in the command line in Octave and is working fine. The Octave I installed was exactly "octave-3.6.4-vs2010-setup", it says it was compiled for Visual Studio 10. Is that the reason why this is not working?
Any help will be appreciated...
regarding Octave not processing the command: use supposed command line outside the N++ and see if it works. If not, find a way to make it working, then transfer it back to N++ (and use the token "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" instead of concrete filename)
regarding running the code in smaller portions: if you app can accept the code directly in the command line (SQL command line tools I use can do this), then you can use token "$(CURRENT_WORD)" what stands for content of current selection (all tokens are in wiki)
