Allow terminal interaction from within QSciTE #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I've started a QTerminal widget that inherits from QTextEdit.  It passes
it's input directly to a QProcess object that's running an instance of bash.

The QTerminal widget should have the following design features:
1. It should not be dependent on any QSciTE directly for any features.
2. It should have accessor methods for executing commands and retrieving
output (for future scripting capabilities in QSciTE).
3. It should have simple methods for changing fonts/colors (some already
provided by QTextEdit parent class).
4. It should have the ability to highlight Standard Error output, to make
it more distinguishable for users.

QTerminal, once in it's finished form, should be implemented in QSciTE
using the following guidelines:

1. It should be on enabled on a per-tab basis.
2. Upon being enabled, it should change directory to the location of the
currently-opened file in that tab.
3. It should detachable from the main window.
4. A tab in the preferences dialog should be added to allow the user to
choose font/color options (foreground and background).

I was studying someone else's implementation of a similar idea. They use 
QVBoxLayout
to group two Qt Widgets and stack them vertically...

So far, design features 1 and 3 and integration feature 4 are present.
Highlighting standard error is going to be a pain in the neck to do through a 
pty.
Integration features 1 and 3 I don't need. Anyone who needs them is welcome to
implement them.

Let's close this issue and open issues for specific QTerminal-related features 
we
want. With the amount of progress we have so far, this is way too broad.
