Add The Option To Open In A Tool Window

Open opticyclic opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

When IDEA opens a terminal using its native functionality it opens it in a tool window.

This plugin starts a new terminal process outside of IDEA.

I generally don't like leaving IDEA as it takes me away from my flow and focus.

Can you add an option to open the specified terminal in a tool window?

Ideally I would like an easy way to switch between cmd and git-bash and not be forced to fix one or the other - maybe a drop down selector?

Interesting idea, but currently I don't have much time to work on that.

Have you tried to configure the standard terminal to use git-bash? There is no switcher but it works the way you want.

Thank you!

When I tried to configure it a new external window was launched. I'll have to dig a bit more to work out the right command parameters. The main inconvenience is switching back and forth though.
