## Buffer Exporting

### Export Buffer

This allows the user to export the text of the buffer to a file. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. If the file already exists, its contents will be replaced with the Terminal buffer text.

**Command name:** `exportBuffer`

**Default bindings:**

```json
{ "command": { "action": "exportBuffer" } },
```

#### Actions

| Name | Necessity | Accepts | Description |
| ---- | --------- | ------- | ----------- |
| `path` | Optional | String | If provided, then the Terminal will export the buffer contents to the given file. Otherwise, the Terminal will open a file picker to choose the file to export to. |

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This feature is only available in [Windows Terminal Preview](https://aka.ms/terminal-preview).
