Terminal inside Scratch hasnt all features of Terminal App

Open snowparrot opened this issue 8 years ago • 7 comments

The build-in terminal of Scratch isn't equal featured like the Terminal application. For example copy+past with CRTL+C and CTRL+V doesn't work.

See https://github.com/elementary/terminal/issues/481 as a possible solution.

Current thinking is to retire the terminal plugin in favour of something more focused on building/running code. (see #736)

Terminal is no longer provided by a plug. This issue encompasses several focused issues. I'll create a project for Terminal related issues.

I don't think the terminal pane should have all the features of the Terminal app. If you need the full Terminal app, you should open that instead. Trying to provide a full 1:1 experience inside of another app seems like a bad long-term plan

Agree. But there are one or two things that could be useful especially if they can be implemented with modest changes copy-pasted from the Terminal app. Also need to ensure then Terminal settings are honored. I've already done the smart copy-paste thing. There is no intention to implement e.g. multiple tabs for example atm.

Need to create sub-issues related to each individual Terminal feature desired to be implemented.
