I am creating a beamer presentation with some code inside and I would like to add some vertical spacing inside a listings environment.

I tried using the phantom family commands, but as it is in a listings environment the phantom commands are not interpreted.

My Question is: how can I add some vertical spacing (eg. 3cm) inside my listings environment?

MWE

    I you want to add a spacing between two blocks inside a listings environment, you can simply add lines in the listed code. If you want to add spacing between two listings environments, you can then use \vspace{<someheight>} – BambOo Aug 21 '18 at 09:25
  • ugh... forgot to try that. Btw the simplest solutions are the greatest - thank you! – belitd Aug 21 '18 at 09:31
  • however, is there a way to specify the desired vertical spacing (eg. 3cm) inside the listing environment? – belitd Aug 21 '18 at 09:33

You could escape a latex sequence to add some space, unfortunately this will also interrupt the background colouring.
