Terminal Integration #74

Open SHIV5T3R opened 4 months ago

SHIV5T3R commented 4 months ago

This feature is to integrate a terminal directly into the code editor, providing users with a seamless environment for executing commands, running scripts, and interacting with their projects. This functionality will enhance the coding experience by eliminating the need for external terminal applications and allowing for a more streamlined workflow within the editor itself.

Criteria

Terminal Interface

Design and implement a terminal interface that is seamlessly integrated into the code editor's UI, ensuring consistency in design and user experience. Support standard terminal features such as command input, output display, and support for common shell commands.

Project Context

Ensure that the terminal operates within the context of the user's project, providing access to project files and directories for executing commands and scripts. Integrate with existing project management features to enable easy navigation and interaction with project resources.

We will need to discuss to what extent we support project-related commands at a later point. An example would be package managers and virtual environments.

Customisation Options

Provide customization options for the terminal interface, allowing users to adjust settings such as font size, colour scheme, and terminal preferences to suit their workflow.

Testing Considerations

Develop comprehensive test cases to validate the functionality and reliability of the terminal integration feature, covering scenarios such as command execution and file manipulation.

I'd like to work on that. For now I'd focus just on the interface and customization criteria.
