Hello Omari,

I'd personally love to see an integrated terminal on TheIDE, similar to other IDEs.

The decision is up to Mirek et al. of course.

While the Terminal widget is very stable and mature, at the moment, there is at least two "show stoppers":

1) PtyProcess class provided with Terminal ctrl currently has no cmd.exe or preferably, power-shell, encapsulation (This is a TODO on my list, scheduled for v0.4. Yet it is not hard to implement, and I'd glady accept PRs on git Smile

It's just not my highest priority, ATM.).

2) I haven't personally tested Terminal ctrl's PtyProcess component on MacOS, since I don't have a Mac. In theory PtyProcess class should work on it, but I have no actual data supporting this.

But then again, Terminal ctrl is going to be upgraded to V0.3 in the following weeks, with lots of improvements and double width characters (a proper Eastern-Asian/CJK) support.

So stay tuned. Smile

Best regards,
Oblivion
