Cannot edit in read-only editor VS Code

I am using Visual Studio Code V 1.31.1. I used an input function but I can't write an input in output panel it shows this error

Cannot edit in read-only editor.

Please help me solve this problem.


  1. Go to File > Preference > Settings then
  2. type: run code and scroll down until you see code-runner: Run in terminal, There will be multiple options called "code-runner". In that you can find the option mentioned below.
  3. just check "Whether to run code in integrated terminal" and
  4. restart vscode.

For Mac users, it is Code > Preference > Settings.


If you can't find where to find code runner as said in Ali NoumSali Traore's answer, here's what you got to do:

  1. Go to extensions (Ctrl + Shift + X)
  2. Find code runner and click on the settings icon on bottom right of the code runner
  3. Click configure extensions settings
  4. Find code_runner: Run in terminal
  5. Check "Whether to run code in terminal"
