To be able to specify the ACTIVE TERMINAL for bang command processing #8289

To be able to specify the ACTIVE TERMINAL for bang command processing Currently is uses the host OS's "default" (sort of!) /bin/sh on unix and COMSPEC on windows...

I use docker remote containers for nearly all my projects, so I'm on windows, but developing in/on Linux( usually Debian) containers via the Remote Container VSCode functionality

I wanted to insert the results of a command, jq, ls, cat etc.... so:

v
:
<,>! ls

doesent work on my set up... but:

v
:
<,>! dir

injects the dir listing for the vscode install directory...

There is a setting vim.shell but this is a path to a shell on the host....

As a workaround I can run vim in the in terminal and load my file and then !dir or !jq etc, but this kind of counters using vscodevim.

Got same issue and request. My local vscode instance is running on a windows and the vscode server on a remote docker container. Bang commands use the shell from the local instead of the remote. I installed the Vim plugin on my local vscode and also only in the remote, and for both cases the results are the same. They use windows cmd.
