How to Make VSCode Profile Default?

Thu May 25 2023

Update:

I heard this feature is no longer available after v1.81 because of a upgrade to the profiles management.

Maybe you can try downgrading to an older version of vscode to make your profile Default: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_80

Procedure

  1. Export your profile settings to a file.
  2. Open the file and change the name field inside the profile json to Default.
  3. Import the profile, click create new profile and choose to overwrite the default profile.

To export and import profiles in VSCode, you can use the Command Palette. Simply open the palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS), type "Terminal: Export Terminal Profile" or "Terminal: Import Terminal Profile", and select the desired option.

Alternatively, you can also access the profile settings by clicking on Preferences in the bottom left corner of the terminal, and then selecting Profiles. From there, you can export, import, and manage your profiles as needed.
