Change the default terminal used by Visual Studio (Mac)


What I want is to use my .zsh shell instead of the default (mac) terminal when building/running my compiled C# code. Is there a way I achieve this with the newly released Visual Studio for mac?

Note: I am referring to Visual Studio, not Visual Studio Code.


Solution

  • Currently not possible. Microsoft just re-branded the Xamarin studio into visual studio for mac. And the default terminal was hard-coded into it. There were multiple feature request for numerous terminals (this one for example).
    "Run on external console" (with default terminal) is the only option in this regard.
