Visual Studio 2017 - How to configure command terminal inside IDE?
Does VS Studio Professional 2017 (not Visual Studio Code) has integrated console/terminal to run commands directly from IDE from the same folder?
To give example - InteliJ has really nicely integrated console/terminal inside IDE by default:

You can make a "Visual Studio Command Prompt" window (a CMD instance) that is set to some version of "the current folder" by doing:
- Open Tools -> External Tools
- Click Add
- Set the following settings:
Title: Command Prompt &Here
Command: %systemroot%system32cmd.exe
Arguments: /K ""c:program files (x86)microsoft visual studio2017professionalCommon7Toolsvsdevcmd.bat" -no_logo"
Initial directory: $(ItemDir)
- Leave "Close on Exit" checked and click OK
Note the weird double-quotes-ed-ness of the "arguments" parameter (two at the beginning, and two more here and there) - it's important to get them right
At that point, you now have a "Command Prompt Here" entry in the Tools menu that will open to the folder associated with the file that has focus in VS. It's adaptable to other versions of VS by playing games with the path to the BAT file.

Thanks. Will this open CMD as a separate window or will it be integrated inside VS (e.g. as additional panel without switching from CMD back to VS)?
– Joe
Nov 21 '18 at 21:12
A brand-new, 1985-looking CMD window. You'll need to [alt]+[tab] back and forth.
– Flydog57
Nov 21 '18 at 21:14
Ok, I was hoping for more integrated solution.. This sounds more as another shortcut to CMD (which I can run by myself without VS) minus path to a folder..
– Joe
Nov 21 '18 at 21:17
The path to the folder thing makes it very handy. You open one, run a few commands and close it. Then open another one a few minutes later. And, it's a "VS Command Prompt". The paths to all the SDK and VS commands (ILDASM, XSD.exe, etc.) are all set up.

I tried Whack Whack Terminal before. When you install it, you can open terminal window under Windows->Other Windows section.
You can download here and this one opens the integrated window.
