Add a terminal or menu option to open one w/in the editor #47
Comments

I think our most realistic option is to have a right click menu from the left hand side file structure. This could be a simple prompt with a configurable shell to open. Attempting some autodetect based on OS. Then really it should just be able to spawn a that shell. Personally I think this would be very helpful feature to add, but yeah might be a bit much to maintain a fully fledged shell panel at this time, but if someone has the energy I'm all for it. |

That's my thought process on it. Just having a right-click menu might be easy enough to implement for now and move to a more advanced solution later. |

Probably need an update on this one of mine. Ought to not be too difficult to open a terminal through a right click menu if nothing else. Which that menu both in the editor views, and tree needs to be cleaned up. The split alone should be a sub-menu you have to move into imo. |

Zed has an interesting approach for this where a terminal instance is opened in a tab just like any other file and works with splits exactly the same way. It does have a modal terminal too but I really like the super modular approach to it. |

I made a small package that allows you to open a terminal: https://github.com/Sertonix/open-in-terminal |

Previously in atom, I was using PlatformIO terminal, and its extensibility and settings were very good, but
If we can integrate that project in pulsar, it would be great. |

@jigyasu-singh this is a rather old issue and one that I think needs updated as I also opened a similar discussion, one of the Pulsar team is already maintaining a fork of |

Hi @Daeraxa, I had a feeling this discussion would be up somewhere, I generally raised this issue for PlatformIO terminal because it seems to integrate well with the pulsar (If in future I will start with JavaScript I will try to work on it), Nonetheless I had also tried to install x-terminal-reloaded but faced an error similar to installing some other packages - > [email protected] install /tmp/apm-install-dir-202345-183836-dbispu.krhy9/node_modules/platformio-ide-terminal/node_modules/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch

@jigyasu-singh Could you maybe move this to a new thread on Discussions or to Discord as this sort of conversation shouldn't be in an issue. |
Summary
This probably speaks for itself, however, we need a terminal that's somehow accessible within Pulsar or as a menu option. Many plugins that were popular for this option no longer exist, and even a stopgap solution would be ideal of the "open in terminal" as a right click from the tree.
Motivation
Are there any other possible alternatives? (Is this really the best solution or only option to add this feature? Could it be a plugin?)
It could be a plugin, but until interest is drawn, I don't see that as a viable solution. There are probably many other ones we could fork as possible solutions, but that involves someone maintaining it and that could be an unknown at this point how long this will last since we've had plenty join our discord but not many speak up or show much interest in these kinds of manners. As shown in the #community-packages channel in discord, many of these have fallen into neglect since 2019 at the minimum, with many others (that may work with some tweaks) having not been touched since 2016 from the commit histories.
Additional context
This could help as productivity enhancement, even if just adding a right click menu to satisfy this goal. If not, an eventual terminal built in functioning off whatever the user default is on Linux or elsewhere. (since I personally use fish/omf and I know many go straight bash or some version of zsh)
