In preview, Visual Studio supports a full-featured Linux terminal-like experience when debugging Linux applications using the Linux console embedded in the integrated terminal. This new Linux console emulates xterm and can support application screen operations.
For example, write screen format control characters to stdout or use the ncurses library. Additionally, vt sequences and keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl C application interrupt are supported.

When you start debugging on a Linux console application, the Linux console will pop up automatically. You can also turn it on manually by selecting it from the Debug drop-down menu, as shown below:

Additionally, the new integrated terminal now supports manipulating files, running background tasks, configuring remote systems, and testing deployed code from within Visual Studio without having to use an external SSH client. The terminal also supports colors and command sequences, so for example, copy, paste, and find shortcuts can be used, as well as interactive programs like VIM.
