Visual Studio Code has just raised the bar for integrated terminals with its latest update. The November 2025 release (version 1.107) introduces Terminal Suggest, a new feature designed to streamline command-line workflows. Whether you’re navigating directories or running scripts, this upgrade promises to save time and reduce friction for developers of all experience levels.
Terminal Suggest: Intelligent Command Completion
The headline feature of this update is Terminal Suggest, now enabled by default. As you type into the terminal, you’ll see real-time auto-complete suggestions for commands, arguments, and file paths. This functionality, similar to what popular shell add-ons like Oh My Zsh offer, comes built right into VS Code, so you can ditch third-party extensions without sacrificing convenience.
- Effortless Suggestions: Command options appear directly above your prompt, letting you quickly select the right argument or flag using arrow keys and Tab.
- Contextual Awareness: Terminal Suggest understands the context of your input, displaying relevant options (like argument lists) as soon as you start typing.
- Boosted Productivity: No more frequent trips to documentation for command syntax,Terminal Suggest makes daily tasks faster and more intuitive.
AI Agent Enhancements for a Modern Workflow
VS Code’s update also delivers expanded capabilities for AI coding agents. These improvements make it easier to collaborate with AI, manage tasks, and integrate automation into your projects:
- Integrated Chat View: Monitor AI agent sessions in a dedicated chat pane, keeping tabs on status, progress, and file changes.
- Flexible Agent Management: Assign agents to specific Git worktrees, permit all terminal commands with a single click, and configure custom keyboard shortcuts for agent actions.
- Persistent Task Handling: Local agents keep working even if you close the chat window. Use the new ‘Continue’ button to delegate tasks seamlessly between background agents and AI tools.
TypeScript 7 Preview and Editor Upgrades
JavaScript and TypeScript developers will appreciate the preview support for TypeScript 7. By installing the preview extension and enabling experimental commands, you can try advanced language features like:
- Automatic import completions
- Symbol renaming
- Reference code lenses
These additions pave the way for improved IntelliSense and streamlined editing once TypeScript 7 launches officially.
