Description
What's the Problem?
Terminal is separated.
Solution/Idea
I was thinking it would be genius to make the terminal show up at the bottom of the folder like on IntelliJ u have tabs for Debug, Terminal, Run, etc... so that our terminal would be already inside and we would know oh ok it is on "this folder" (if one is organized enough to not move too much ;).
Alternatives
Opening the terminal separately as it is done now... which equals clutter.

i would call it instead of relevant: "directly related and key shortcut for proposed feature".

A better inspiration could be KDE's Dolphin File Manager which opens a terminal in lower pane on press of F4 key.
Also, when we navigate the folders through the UI, the attached terminal also changes the working directory (only when no command is running) by a

This would be a killer feature! Please implement this.

Can you share how this will fit into your workflow? Personally, if I'm doing any dev stuff that requires a folder to be open for any length of time in cmd, it's usually because I'm working in an IDE.

I'm not sure I'm seeing the point of that.

Good, you are welcome to make PR. :)
nielsbosma commentedon Nov 6, 2023
Sweet! Is is also possible for this to sync current folder so if you browse to another directory it auto cd's to that folder. And same if you change folder in the terminal it auto changes in the graphical view.
yaira2 commentedon Nov 6, 2023
Wouldn't that cause an issue if there was an operation running in the terminal? And the same for if you change the path in the terminal,
nielsbosma commentedon Nov 14, 2023
You are right. I just really like this workflow from Kudo: https://recordit.co/C94qz5dsLa
Maybe when you change the folder in the UI a new terminal opens and when you go back the previous one is still there.
I understand it's a be can of worms with all the edge cases :)
