Hi @mardukbp, I'm not sure how this would be done in practice. Perhaps a custom `$EDITOR` that emits an escape sequence that is registered in xterm and emits a command...

We have a version of a bash kernel in [metakernel](https://github.com/Calysto/metakernel/tree/master/metakernel_bash) that supports the `%%html` magic if you'd like to use that instead, @parmentelat. ``` pip install git+git://github.com/calysto/metakernel.git#subdirectory=metakernel_bash python -m metakernel_bash...

We just hadn't gone through the trouble of making it a separate package or advertising it. We use it for unit tests primarily. However, its sibling kernels, that share a...

That is correct, we are using the same underlying mechanism to communicate with bash.

@parmentelat, I completely forgot we had already created a separate bash kernel with magics. You can install it as `pip install calysto_bash`.

The structure of `figureoptions.json` is dictated by `jquery.dform`, but can be munged quite nicely on the Python end as well. :smile:

It looks like Bokeh and IPython are both using Backbone models: https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/blob/master/bokehjs/src/coffee/common/ui_events.coffee#L11 https://github.com/ipython/ipython-components/tree/master/backbone

But I see `jquery.dform` as an analog to [formlayout](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/backends/qt_editor/formlayout.py) and a completely separate issue.
