Issue: No F# Interactive window.

Background: I had F# Interactive working just fine then apparently did something that has made it disappear, and it's not showing when hitting Alt-Enter with code selected.

Expected Result: I thought Alt + Enter opened the FSI window with code selected but it's not happening.

EDIT: Somehow it's back. I now have F# Interactive as an option in the Terminal dropdown where as before it only had Powershell. Wierd but working...

  • Isn't the interactive window a visual Studio and not a visual studio code feature? Commented Jun 3, 2019 at 10:44
  • No, it's also in VS Code. Commented Jun 3, 2019 at 10:58

Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P and find FSI: Start command (requires Ionide extension)

Anyone know how to specify a startup .fsx script, like in Visual Studio proper?

According to the docs you can also do the following:

  1. Open the Visual Studio Code settings (File > Preferences > Settings).
  2. Search for the term F# Script.
  3. Click the checkbox that says FSharp: use SDK scripts.

Now you can highlight a line of code (like let foo = 1) and send it to F# Interactive by using Alt + Enter. It should now open the terminal in F# Interactive mode.

Maybe you pressed Ctrl + F and while the search dialog was open, the Alt + Enter key combo failed...
