Support showing the output of a command #5

It would be really convenient if you could show the output of an arbitrary command in this statusbar

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I believe it's not possible at the moment since zellij plugins are executed in a wasm sandbox. They are neither able to access the root fs (just a sandboxed part) nor able to run certain programs.

Maybe the zellij api will provide this feature or permission in the future.

Makes sense, thank you!

Found the relating issue on zellijs side.

https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/issues/2559

Will implement it as soon as the API arrives with zellij.

https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/2862 implemented the feature. I'll try it, when I have time for it with the development version of zellij.

Using the feature with the development version of zellij since a week and it seems to be stable (at least on my side). I'll wait for zellijs new release and merge it then directly.

Feel free to test the feature with a development version of zellij.

Closed, since zellij 0.39.0 is released and zjstatus 0.9.0 supports now command widgets.
