[FIXED] VSCode Jupyter: is there a way to make python interactive window work as default console?

Issue

I've recently switched to VSCode, and am wondering if there's a way to make the Python Interactive Window from the Jupyter support in VSCode work like the console in Spyder where I just have to select code and press ctrl+enter to send it, without having to create cells everytime.

For now I'm resigned to work with the Terminal until my code is clean and then create a cell when I have reusable code, and would like to just work directly with the PIW.

Solution

@FranciscoRZ. You should have seen a popup option for this, but if it didn't come up for you it can just be manually set in VSCode options. Just change this guy here:

Python->Data Science: Send Selection To Interactive Window

That should get you what you are looking for.

OP's Note: Accepting this answer because it will be the right anwser starting with the February release of VS Code Python
