You could also set the "python.pythonPath" in your settings.json as follows:

{
  "python.pythonPath": "~/miniconda3/bin/ipython3",
  "python.dataScience.sendSelectionToInteractiveWindow": false
}

or

{
  "python.pythonPath": "~/miniconda3/envs//bin/ipython3",
  "python.dataScience.sendSelectionToInteractiveWindow": false
}

shift+enter will then trigger ipython and send the line to the terminal.
