If you use the integrated terminal in VS Code, press ctrl + '`' (backtick key) to open and minimize (not delete) the terminal real quick. If you use an external terminal, press alt + tab to switch between VS Code and other windows including your external terminal. These shortcuts might be slightly different for Mac OS but definitely would be very similar to what I've mentioned in here.
I get the trick now. It turns out Ctrl + ` will focus on terminal instead of closing when it doesn't have focus on terminal itself. So I have to click it twice to close it.
What annoy me the most in code is I can't hide terminal fast and focus switching between terminal and editor quickly. Or may be I missed it..
I'm trying to make a new keyboard shortcut, but haven't figured the correct one.
Any suggestions?
Use ctrl+j to quickly toggle terminal

The minimize terminal works! May be i just need to muscle memory a bit. Now i only need the cycle thing
Cool. 😊
