Can I keep vscode Terminal connected to host machine while in Docker environment using Remote Containers extension?

I have the Remote Containers extension setup so I can jump into a docker container for autocomplete etc. That's working how I want it to.

But it also sets the Terminal window to be inside that environment and I want to instead keep the Terminal window connected to my host machine. I can understand why it's useful to have Terminal from inside the container, but it's not useful for my usecase and it breaks some of my testing tools.

There are 2 commands in VS Code to open terminal windows when using Remote Containers extension:

Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal will open a terminal window within a container.

Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal (Local) will open a terminal on your host machine.

enter image description here

Latter doesn't seem to have have a key binding assigned, so you may want to add one.
