Out of curiosity, why would you not use a terminal program on your local machine in this case?

enhe, What you said is what I want. I just want to have a very convenient but quick shortcut to open a terminal, isn't it?

Typing ssh <host-name> in your terminal should accomplish what you're asking, right? I don't think we'd want to add a button to explicitly take a user out of VS Code and into another program

Thank you for your reminder. I am a beginner, but regardless, I still want to share my thoughts.
VSCode is indeed a tool that I always have open on my computer. With many plugins installed, it helps me solve a lot of problems. I don't just use it for coding; it has essentially become my all-in-one tool.

So,

  1. I don't want to open SSH in a separate terminal program because my workflow is already integrated into VSCode.
  2. For a long time, I didn't know I could use ssh m2kpc. I always used the IP address instead of m2kpc, so thank you for reminding me earlier.
Host m2kpc
  HostName 10.40.9.81
  Port 22
  User m2k
  1. As this topic suggests, I am already in the VSCode environment, and I really don't want to open other programs like Windows Terminal. VSCode can solve all my problems in one place. Many scripts and commands are already pre-configured.
  2. I don't want to open a new SSH-remote window because sometimes I just need to connect to a remote PC via SSH, make a few edits with vi, and be done. With the current process, I need to:
    1. Click on the panel with my mouse,
    2. Click on the terminal,
    3. Click to create a new terminal,
    4. Type ssh host.
  3. If there were a button in the SSH interface, I could just click it once with my mouse.
  4. My SSH config file has quite a few entries, not just two or three, and it's really hard for me to remember every hostname. So, the VSCode remote list serves as my display and management panel. This reduces the mental effort required. All I need to do is record the configurations in the SSH config file.

Therefore, my goal is clear: I want to solve my problems within VSCode. I don't want to open Windows Terminal or other terminal programs. I don't see the need to guide myself from VSCode to another program; everything should stay within VSCode.

Anyway, thank you very much. If this button could be added, I think it could even help beginners learn more.
