A simple lightweight option could be to install tmux
.
Then it would be possible to have multiple shells/applications running on one screen simultaneously, giving a nice overview while working on the terminal.
You could also add a script, that starts a tmux with a preconfigured set of windows running shells/applications.
Another bonus would be, that this also works over an ssh connection when no display is attached.
Tmux is now available with https://github.com/eclipse-leda/meta-leda/pull/198
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. During hackathons, when there is a display and keyboard attached to the Raspi and the user is on the shell, he needs to switch back and forth between tools (kantui, databroker-cli, logs of containers) to see whether something is working or not.
It would be great to have a way to display something on the screen while the user is on the terminal/shell, like an overlay. It should not be obstructing too much and still give him access and control over the shell.

Additional notes Having a container access to the display or providing a GUI would be an interesting experiment anyway.
