Discussion: Shell

[imrn]

1) Currently, gui filemanagers and command shells are seperate islands. But this split also divides every day computing workflow in worst inergonomic means.

2) There are scientific/programmatic "notebooks" specific to certain domains. for example https://jupyter.org.

3) Personally I'd like to browse/expand/collapse/modify/save/reuse outputs/reuse commands/etc while navigating in the filemanager.

4) These commands may span multiple shells (sh/bash/python/ etc.)

5) To begin with I'd suggest a cheap experiment for an embedded "meta" shell in qtfm. That is;

• A "current shell" selector (bash/python/etc) and
• A list of browsable/collapsable command history/output.

It would be nice, but I don't have the resources to work on this feature at the moment.

Just a note: https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh is an interesting project.

I will use https://github.com/lxqt/qtermwidget

I already use qterminal, so my not(?).

This will of course be an optional feature, and I don't know when I get the time to implement this.

Did some testing with qtermwidget in qtfm7:

Seems to work ok :)
