Two more from Mads... Open Command Line and Farticus

[News]

Today we're highlighting more Mads Visual Studio Extensions, one that's simple but could be one that you end up wonder where it's been all your dev life and another that's just fun (well boy humor fun)

Open Command Line

The Open Command Line extension supports all types of consoles like cmd, PowerShell, Bash and more. You can easily configure which to use by setting the paths and arguments in the Options.



How it works


This extension adds a new command to the project context menu that will open a command prompt on the project's path. If the solution node is selection in Solution Explorer, then a console will open at the root of the .sln file.



You can access the command by hitting ALT+Space as well.
