Just out of curiosity, why are you looking to run this in an external terminal?

[elunty]

I do quite a bit of math calcs that might take hours each to finish, and i'd rather them running externally to easily see if something goes terrible wrong, etc. If the ability existed to have multiple things going in the integrated terminal it would be useable i guess, but this is just how i'm used to running all my scripts.

I have no interest in the debugging tools, just basically a shortcut key that launches "python {{file}}" externally.

Thanks. Vscode had the ability to run coffee without debugging. Unfortunately there's a bug with this feature, which will be fixed in a day or two. The next release is due sometime early to mid next month. I'll notify you once that's done.

Ah yeah, tried that and after the first one it cant be re-ran. #235 right?

[DonJayamanne]

Great, closing this issue in favor or #235
