Microsoft Visual Studio Preview Mac

Hey HaoSun, The closest to that kind of functionality on Windows is Microsoft Edge. By default, PDFs are associated to Edge. To open a PDF file with Edge, simply right-click and go to Open With, and choose Edge when prompted, though you can just simply open it and it'll lead you to Edge already, given your files have that association as it did stock.

Visual Studio Preview Release Note

released March 26, 2020

Terminal

Visual Studio for Mac now includes an integrated terminal. This feature has been a popular request and simplifies many common developer scenarios by allowing you to remain in Visual Studio for Mac. The integrated terminal uses the default system shell and integrates with the system shell's command history.

There are a few ways to open the Terminal:

• View > Pads > Terminal menu
• Ctrl + ~ keyboard shortcut (and Ctrl + ‘, to match Windows).
• Ctrl + ` will toggle the Terminal pad to be shown or hidden.
• Search in search bar: terminal (handled by menu name)
• Using a “New Terminal” button in the Terminal pad.

The terminal includes the following features:

• Integrated search, including case sensitivity, regex, and whole word searching
• Cycle through command history by pressing the up arrow key
• Multiple instances
• Localization support
• Light and dark theme support

Shell

• Visual Studio for Mac now has new identity libraries that should ease many of the issues that users have faced signing in. In addition, Visual Studio for Mac now supports device code authentication and system browser. You can enable these two options in Preferences should you need them.
