Execute the currently selected line in the text editor directly in the terminal in visual studio code

Question

Today if I have a command in my text editor in vs code, I have to copy it and paste it into the terminal and then execute it. Is there is a way or a keyboard shortcut to execute the currently selected line in the text editor directly in the terminal of visual studio code?

Does this answer your question? [How can I run text selected in the active editor in VS Code's integrated terminal?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38952053/how-can-i-run-text-selected-in-the-active-editor-in-vs-codes-integrated-termina) — starball, Aug 31 '23 at 18:22

You can use the extension Command Variable

Define this key binding

  {
    "key": "ctrl+i f5",  // or any other combo
    "command": "extension.commandvariable.inTerminal",
    "args": {
      "command": "extension.commandvariable.transform",
      "args": { "text": "${selectedText}" },
      "addCR": true
    }
  }

You can add arguments to the ${selectedText} variable

Execute the currently selected line in the text editor directly in the terminal in visual studio code
