[Request] Allow spawning processes inside presenterm #223

Closed strottos closed 6 months ago

strottos commented 6 months ago

Even just being able to spawn a default terminal would pretty much do.

I know technically I can always open another terminal, but sometimes I record my terminal to asciinema and it would be nice to be able to drive that with presenterm.

Not essential for many I'm sure, but a very nice to have for me.

Have you considered using tmux? You can spin up a separate window and do whatever you want over there. It also integrates great with asciinema.

This would be a massive change and I think there's already tools to get around it. You can otherwise have a look at lookatme which has support for this.

Yeah that's fair. I have thought about things like tmux and that might be the answer. One problem I have with it is it's not Windows compatible.

I'll take a look at lookatme too. Haven't seen this previously, thanks.

Feel free to close this.
