Answer 1

Type Ipython inside the terminal window. Then select the line or lines you want to run from the editor window and then click on the Terminal menu at the top of VScode window. One option in the Terminal menu is to "Run Selected Text". This will be run in the Ipython terminal window. I don't know how to make this the default but it appears to remain in that state unless Ipython is stopped. Note: You have to run your selections using the Menu item. Right-clicking in the editor window and clicking on "Run Selection" will not use the Ipython window. I hope this is clear. If not just drop a comment.
