• VS Code SettingPermalink

  For the VS Code terminal, please use the CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font instead of other Nerd Fonts. In my tests, using other Nerd Fonts may cause issues with missing icons or layout misalignment in the VS Code terminal, possibly due to VS Code’s renderer.

Common bug fixesPermalink

Font garbling or missing iconsPermalink

Please install and set up Nerd Fonts. For VS Code terminal, please use CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font.

The custom theme displays correctly in Windows Terminal, but the layout is misaligned in the VS Code terminal.Permalink

Disable automatic activation of Conda virtual environments. Add the following command to the .condarc file:

auto_activate_base: false

Git Bash experiences screen flickering when pressing backspace in Windows Terminal.Permalink

Add the line set bell-style none to ~/.inputrc (create the file if it doesn’t exist).

Font background turns black after deleting text in PowerShellPermalink

Use this command to update PSReadline to solve the problem. Update-Module PSReadline
