Terminal tabs can be dragged and dropped between VS Code windows. This can also be done manually through the Command Palette and the **Terminal: Detach Session** and **Terminal: Attach to Session** commands.

### Configure how the terminal behaves on start up

When opening a window, if the terminal view is visible it will either reconnect to the terminal using persistent sessions, or create a new shell. This behavior can be fine tuned with the `terminal.integrated.hideOnStartup` setting.
