I'm currently using Debian Buster (10): installed a new terminal emulator (Alacritty) along with a new shell (ZSH); and configured my system to use this new terminal & shell as the defaults.
Unfortunately, VScode continues--regardless of the changes I make in my vscode settings file--to use some sort of defunct terminal. Notice the screwed-up styling:

Anyone with knowledge on how to configure vscode to use the correct terminal would be very much appreciated. Thank you guys.
This is just a terminal font issue.
First you need to download and install a Powerline Font (there are quite a few, check this link for hints).
Then you need to assign that downloaded font to your terminal. You should add:
{
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "<your powerline font>"
}
to your settings.json file, or search in the gui settings Terminal integrated Font Family and add it there.
I personally use SauceCodepro NF which works great for me.

If your problem is not related to default shell in your terminal. Then you check windows settings. Follow the steps -
Open VSCode file location
Go to Compatibility tab in VSCode properties window
Unchecked Run this program in compatibility mode for: option
see the attached files. Try with this solution, it might help you.
This worked for me:
Remove settings file.
Click on view/terminal.
Select default shell.
When using IntelliJs integrated terminal - for example with git - sometimes my CTRL + C keystrokes don't make to the terminal. For example the current line is not aborted.
What can I do as this behaviour is very annoying.
As I had git for Windows installed anyway I just replaced the terminal used by IntelliJ from cmd.exe (which is the default on windows) to bash.exe supplied by git for Windows (which is cygwin btw)
To change it for all projects go to File >> Other Settings >> Default Settings and then Tools >> Terminal. (see screenshot)
In the shell path field set the following line:
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i
Please make sure git is installed at the proper localtion or adjust the path (for example if you have the 32bit version of git installed)
Using bash instead of cmd, the problem does not occour for me. Plus the bash supports some commands that cmd does not support, which is kinda nice when been used to a linux environment.
EDIT 2020-09-30: In latest Intellij versions the Terminal is a project-level setting and can be changed here:
Sometimes it could be because of vim emulator just turn it off
Go to Tools
Deselect Vim Emulator
Because Vim mode is checked,
Tools, Vim Emulator, there will be a √ in front of it, just cancel it, as shown in the figure:picture

I have two gnome-shell extensions that don't appear to be loading after upgrading to 3.24. In gnome-tweak-tool they have a warning sign icon with "Error loading extension", and nothing else. I tried using looking glass (lg), and it just says "Error", and that the extension "has not reported any errors".
How can I debug the extension to find out why exactly it's not loading?
I found the error in the systemd journal:
$ sudo journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell
Just simply run this on terminal:
gnome-extensions-app
and enable it to make the extensions work.
Works perfectly with GNOME 40
As mentioned on the Github page.
A Shell reload is required. Press Alt+F2 r Enter and the extension has to be enabled with gnome-tweak-tool or with dconf.
As mentioned on Dash to Dock's User reviews. Make sure you disable Ubuntu Dock if you are using this in Ubuntu, otherwise you are going to have conflicts.
To disable Ubuntu Dock type the following in terminal:
gnome-extensions disable ubuntu-dock#ubuntu.com
I also experienced the same error. I think I will like to state the procedures that I took to make mine to work, and then you can check to see if you got it wrong somewhere.
Here are the steps
First install the Gnome shell extensions package from the terminal
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions
And then reboot your system. After that, start GNOME Tweaks and you’ll find a few extensions installed. You can just toggle the button to start using an installed extension.
Next, go to GNOME Extensions website (GNOME User Themes Extensions) and download the extension with the latest version (Although, I often prefer to download the version next to the latest version, since it may be more stable).
Extract the downloaded file to the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions (home/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions) directory. You can press Ctrl + H to show hidden folders. Create the extensions folder if you don't have it yet.
Now restart GNOME Shell. Press Alt+F2 and enter r to restart GNOME Shell.
Restart GNOME Tweaks tool as well. You should see the manually installed GNOME extension in the Tweak tool now. You can configure or enable the newly installed extension here.
That's all
I hope this helps
Loging in without wayland works for me.
My extension was not enabling. I just log out and log in back and ran this command.
gnome-extensions enable example#hammad.example.com
It worked in my case.
I am currently using Zsh + Prezto for my scripting shell configuration. I have been using the sorin theme but am a little dissatisfied with it. I'd like to switch to the paradox theme!
It is supposed to look like this:
I'm having some trouble doing that. When I switch to the theme, the symbols aren't able to load, so I get a prompt that looks like this:
Notice the boxed question marks where there should be an edge border for the background or a branch symbol for the git branch. (Take a look at the paradox theme preview here).
I've seen here that I should install Powerline patched fonts for the symbols to load in correctly. However, as I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the process, I would love some help installing it into my OS X.
In the documentation, it notes I should install via pip. When I run pip install --user powerline-status, my prompt is still unable to display the symbols the way it should look.
What else must I do, after running the installation, to display this prompt correctly?
I am using a MacBook Pro with El Capitan
Update: I have installed the powerline fonts and run the install.sh exec, changed my terminal preferred font, and tested out the new look of the prompt. The symbols now display, however, they are raised from the baseline of the prompt row, like so:
Notice that the symbol of "\ue0b0" is elevated from the bottom of the row.
It is all about the Powerline symbols.
To get the Powerline symbols working as mike#Mikes-Laptop.local has:
Download a Powerline font. A good font for downloading can be found at https://github.com/powerline/fonts
Install it by running ./install.sh.
Change the font in your Terminal preferences to use the new Powerline font.
Test! To test the glyphs in a terminal:
echo "\ue0b0 \u00b1 \ue0a0 \u27a6 \u2718 \u26a1 \u2699"
The prior instructions were intended for Mac OS version 10.11 with Terminal, but may work similar for other setups.
On Windows - just
* download some Powerline font like:
https://github.com/abertsch/Menlo-for-Powerline/raw/master/Menlo%20for%20Powerline.ttf
* Install it by clicking the file twice
* Choose the new font in properties
That's it!
If you're a macOS user, the Powerline glyphs are now built-in to iTerm (as of 3.3.7, 17 Nov 2019) but disabled by default.
You can enable the fonts by toggling the checkbox in iTerm > Preferences > Profiles > Text:
Any newly opened Terminal windows will render supported Unicode characters as glyphs, as shown the following screenshot test.
$ echo "\ue0b0 \u00b1 \ue0a0 \u27a6 \u2718 \u26a1 \u2699"
If you'd rather manually manage the installation of the Powerline Symbols, you can use Homebrew Casks:
$ brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
$ brew cask install font-powerline-symbols
This will install the PowerlineSymbols.otf typeface for you to use system-wide.
Add on, I am using Hyper and zsh and encountered same problem, solved by editing
fontFamily: 'Menlo, "DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline", Consolas, "Lucida Console", monospace',
Just adding the font for powerline into fontFamily.
For anyone coming to this later, iTerm2 3.3.7 has a checkbox to use built-in Powerline glyphs. If you're not trying to get too fancy, this is an easy way to get those glyphs.
Preferences > Profiles > Text > Check that box
For Linux people that have to work in a local environment (i.e. without sudo access), here is the procedure:
cd <cloning_path>
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts-git --depth=1
cd fonts
./install.sh
That's it. You don't have to configure anything in a graphical menu like other answers say. Powerline fonts should be loaded and powerline symbols should automatically be used by the oh my zsh prompt
If you later want to un install the powerline fonts:
cd <cloning_path>/fonts
./uninstall.sh
I'm SSH'ing in from my mac OSX (10.6.8) to a school server running centOS5 and when I attempt to use VIM, it won't stop flashing inside the mac terminal. Any idea's on how to fix this? Keep in my mind I do not have the authority to modify any /etc files or /bin files on the server, although I believe I can locally on my user. Also I would love to see anyone's really cool .vimrc config file they want to share.
Try these out:
set visualbell t_vb= " turn off error beep/flash
set novisualbell " turn off visual bell
Though the link may go stale in the future, for the time being this is the source: http://phuzz.org/vimrc.html
I also know that you can set this via terminal options on the MAC, though this is not likely the issue if you are ssh-ing. Anyway, I hope it helps. Good luck! :)
I´ve just had the same issue.
I solved it by disabling the setting "Allow blinking text" in the terminal text settings as shown in this
screenshot.
Regarding .vimrc config there are tons of versions to be found on google, especially github is a good place to go.
to stop beeping & flashing in both the console & the GUI versions of Vim try:
set noerrorbells visualbell t_vb=
autocmd GUIEnter * set visualbell t_vb=
I was pretty frustrated with macvim installed via brew.
First, on installation, it had an issue with the python version.
I did upgrade brew and python. Then I started macvim but it was flashing really bad, to eliminate, I had to ***disable core text renderin***g under preferences -> advanced options.
Finally, it got stable but couldn't open files or tabs.
objc[80401]: Class FIFinderSyncExtensionHost is implemented in both
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FinderKit.framework/FinderKit
(0x10d099200) and
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FileProvider.framework/OverrideBundles/FinderSyncCollaborationFileProviderOverride.bundle/Contents/MacOS/FinderSyncCollaborationFileProviderOverride
(0x115309c00). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
So I decided to get rid off it altogether.
brew uninstall --force macvim
Installed it manually from here.
Once installed, I used the following command to create an alias. Add the following line to your .bashrc or .zshrc (for iTerm users).
alias mvim=/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim -g
Now reload your terminal session and type mvim. Enjoy!!
