The title mostly says it all about the question. I want to set the newest Microsoft's Windows Terminal as an external terminal in Visual Studio Code.
I found the WT's executable in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.4.2382.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe. Then I entered the path into VSC in the terminal.external.windowsExec. Then tried to run my program, but VSC showed a pop-up which says "Could not find "C:\Program". Check whether the path is written right an try again."
Also I have tried to use a shortcut (literally dragged the WT tile from Start to my desktop folder), then entered its path into the setting, but it just opens the app without starting the program.
You are essentially asking VS Code to Run... a program via the Ctrl + Shift + C command.
Per the tip here, you can achieve what you are looking for by simply entering:
wt
...into the terminal.external.windowsExec section.
