  1. Visual Studio Code Zsh Command Not Found
  2. Zsh Visual Studio Code Font

Today I was installing Oh My ZSH and the theme Agnoster and it worked in the the normal terminal but not in Visual Studio Code’s terminal, as it needs a monospaced font and Powerline isn’t one.

  • VS Code Zsh Debug. A zsh debugger GUI frontend based on awesome zshdb scripts (zshdb included in package). This is a SIMPLE zshdb debugger frontend. Useful for learning zsh shell usage and writing simple scripts. Useful hint: shellcheck extension does a great job with finding common script errors before debugging.

The problem

VS Code defaults the terminal’s font to the editor’s font, and since the Agnoster theme needs Powerline, the terminal outputs non-sense characters.

Prerequisites

  • Zsh installed, obviously…
  • VS Code, obviously…

Installing a monospaced version of Powerline

Zsh

After searching for a bit, I found Menlo for Powerline, a Menlo font patched to work with the font Agnoster needs. Since Menlo is monospaced, jackpot!

Clone the github repository

Move the font to the fonts folder

Refresh the fonts cache

Setting the font in VS Code

Go to your UI Settings: CTRL + SHIFT + P > UI Settings

Search for Terminal Font and set the new font:

As you can see in the terminal, the new font gets applied and everything works as expected.

Getting up and running with VS Code is quick and easy. Follow the platform specific guides below as well as the list of handy tools.

Mac OS X

  1. Download Visual Studio Code for Mac OS X.
  2. Double-click on VSCode-osx.zip to expand the contents.
  3. Drag Visual Studio Code.app to the Applications folder, making it available in the Launchpad.
  4. Add VS Code to your Dock by right-clicking on the icon and choosing Options, Keep in Dock.

Tip: If you want to run VS Code from the terminal, append the following to your ~/.bash_profile file (~/.zshrc in case you use zsh).

Now, you can simply type code . in any folder to start editing files in that folder.

Linux

  1. Download Visual Studio Code for Linux.
  2. Make a new folder and extract VSCode-linux-x64.zip inside that folder.
  3. Double click on Code to run Visual Studio Code.

Tip: If you want to run VS Code from the terminal, create the following link substituting /path/to/vscode/Code with the absolute path to the Code executable

Now, you can simply type code . in any folder to start editing files in that folder.

Windows

  1. Download Visual Studio Code for Windows.
  2. Double-click on VSCodeSetup.exe to launch the setup process. This will only take a minute.

Tip: Visual Studio Code will be added to your path, so from the console you can simply type code . to open VS Code on that folder!

Tip: You might need to log off after the installation for the change to the PATH environmental variable to take effect.
