I made a mistake, I put vs built-in terminal position, from the bottom of the screen, change to the right side of the screen, but it doesn't work out, even more, more trouble is that I can't change the terminal from the right side of the screen to the bottom of the screen, I can't found such button!!!

Who can help me? I have tried to delete "~/. Vscode" and software, and then decompress again, but the problem has not been solved!

BTW, my laptop system is ubuntu16.04, and the vscode version is v1.24.1.

  • Does this answer your question? [How do I move the panel in Visual Studio Code to the right side?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41874426/how-do-i-move-the-panel-in-visual-studio-code-to-the-right-side). I mean, technically you're asking how to move from right to the bottom and the other from bottom to right or left, but they're both "How to move the terminal" (as in your title) and both have the same resolution. – ruffin Dec 16 '21 at 20:22

If you move the Terminal split bar to the left (this will widen the Terminal window), the icon for Move to Bottom will appear.

Updated on 9-May-2022:

The current VSCode version as now is 1.67.0. The below steps are still valid in current version of UI.

Updated on 18-Nov-2018:

Version 1.29 was released in October 2018 (https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_29) and the UI has changed for configuring the terminal position.

    I'm using version 1.29.0-insider and that button seems to be missing. Anyone know how to get it back? I can still right click and move it, but I really liked the shortcut button. – Caleb Oct 31 '18 at 00:18

    Yeah seems gone in `1.29.0`, shame, i used it all the time. – kevin Nov 14 '18 at 13:53

    This is no longer the correct answer, as of **v1.29** and @jay-chung now has the correct answer – xyhhx Nov 16 '18 at 17:02
  • @kevin @Caleb I've updated the answer to include `v1.29`. The UI has changed for moving the position from right to bottom and back. – Jagrut Sharma Nov 18 '18 at 08:11

If you use VSCode v1.29+, this action button was moved to the Terminal context menu:

vscode editor window

just right click the Terminal tab on top of panel window, and you will see Move Panel Right or Move Panel to Bottom.

for more information, you can see: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/58575
