Question

How to quickly close all open terminals in VS Code?

I have a lot of opened terminals and I could go over them one by one and kill each one of them separately. Or I could select a few of them and then kill the selected batch. But both approaches are not convenient, since they require a lot of time. I have at least 10000 open terminals, while in one batch I can select a few hundreds.

Is there a way to kill all terminals at once?

Answer 1

There is a Terminal: Kill All Terminals command, not bound to anything by default.

You could make a keybinding for it like (in your keybindings.json):

{
  "key": "ctrl+alt+k",           // whatever you want here
  "command": "workbench.action.terminal.killAll"
}

Or search for the command in your Keyboard Shortcuts page and click on the pencil icon to enter some keybinding.

                         Or

View->Command Palette-> type "kill all terminal"

                         Or

ctrl+shift+p then type "kill all terminal"
