Editor in same column as terminal

Question

In VSCode, how do I create a heterogeneous vertical split contained completely within a single column? I would like to define a column such that the terminal is on top, a text editor is on the bottom, and neither this terminal nor this editor intrudes into the other columns. Is that possible?

Answer 1

This will be very easy with vscode1.58, due out this week. Because you can drag a terminal to the editor area.

First create your vertical split so you have two columns. Then just drag a terminal into the upper half of the right-hand split. Then close your Panel (where the terminal was).

Also there are some move the terminal commands you can make keybindings out of:
