I was wondering if it's possible to connect the interactive session in python tools for visual studio to an existing ipython kernel?

I know you can connect a ipython qtconsole (which I assume PTVS is using) to an existing ipython kernel, and I can get the kernel info for an existing notebook via the

%connect_info

magic.

However I don't know how, or if, you can configure PTVS to start an interactive session that is connected to the existing kernel.

I can see that PTVS has some interactive startup options, and thought that these might help, but haven't got anything to work yet.

enter image description here

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

It is not currently possible, but it is one of the major features that are very likely to be done for PTVS 3.0. Please leave your feedback on this GitHub issue:
