# Run in terminal commands (opens new window)

In previous releases, there was the single command workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText which sent text to the terminal. This would send either the selection if there was one, or the entire file if not. This caused some issues as users would accidentally run entire files when they were expecting to run the current line if there was no selection. Running a file would also not work in some shells as the shell would interpret the text in chunks, not as a whole. To improve these scenarios, there are now two commands with distinct behaviors:

workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText: Sends the selection if there is one to the terminal, otherwise sends the current line.
workbench.action.terminal.runActiveFile: Sends the file path of the active file to the terminal (in most shells this will execute the file).
