Visual Studio Code: Moving the terminal back to the bottom

I accidentally clicked the button that moves the terminal from the bottom to the right. How do I get it back to the bottom?

Clicking the split button again just splits the terminal.

I am having different solution here, for your reference: Visual Studio Code: 1.96.2 (user setup) OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631

Allign Panel --> Centre This link is a screenshot for how I resolve the issue mentioned above, to move the terminal back to bottom in Visual Studio Code. Right-clicked on the "Terminal" --> "Allign Panel" --> Choose "Centre".

I came across this question when accidentally I hit a key combination that collapsed my terminal. If that happened to you, look to the top right and click on the second icon that shows a highlighted bottom.

For Visual Studio Code version 1.84.2, moving the terminal window from the right to the bottom:

Ensure that the bottom window is wide enough to show at least one window title (e.g., "DEBUG CONSOLE"). Drag the terminal icon [>_] from terminal window on the right to next to a window title in the bottom window.

A vertical bar shows up at that location, indicating that the terminal window will be moved there if dropped. Drop the terminal icon there to move the terminal window to bottom, though it may not become the current bottom window (tab). Change the window tab at the bottom to make terminal the current window.

Moving the terminal window from the bottom to the right:

Move the mouse over the "TERMINAL" label of the terminal window and drag it to the right edge of the window. A space will open up in the right side of the Visual Studio Code window with a message "Drag a view here to display".

Drop the dragged "TERMINAL" label in the space opened up in the right side of the Visual Studio Code window. The terminal window now shows in the right side of the Visual Studio Code window. This picture was put up later on and so does not exactly match earlier pictures.

Just move the Terminal split bar to the left to widen the Terminal window so that the icon of Move to Bottom can appear so you can click it.

UPDATE

The Move to Right and Move to Bottom icons was removed as of Update 1.29.1 on October 2018.

You can now right-click the title area of the Terminal window so that you can find Move Panel to Right or Move Panel to Bottom, alternatively, you may click View > Appearance > Toggle Panel Position.
