Feature Description

Request:
Add "Editor Area" to the integrated terminal panel context menu "Move to" submenu in VS Code.

When you right-click inside the integrated terminal panel, the "Move to" submenu only offers "Primary Side Bar" and "Secondary Side Bar" options. However, there is an existing command, "Terminal: Move Terminal into Editor Area", which is accessible via the command palette. For a consistent and more discoverable user experience, the "Editor Area" option should be added to this submenu.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open VS Code (Version: 1.110.1, OS: Linux x64 6.17.0-14-generic)
  2. Open integrated terminal in the panel
  3. Right-click inside the terminal area (xterm surface)
  4. Open the "Move to" submenu

Actual:

  • Submenu displays only "Primary Side Bar" and "Secondary Side Bar".

Expected:

  • Submenu should also display "Editor Area" corresponding to the command "Terminal: Move Terminal into Editor Area".

Version Info:

  • Version: 1.110.1
  • Commit: 61b3d0a
  • Date: 2026-03-06T23:03:27.520Z
  • Electron: 39.6.0
  • Chromium: 142.0.7444.265
  • Node.js: 22.22.0
  • OS: Linux x64 6.17.0-14-generic

Impact:
Adding "Editor Area" in the context menu increases discoverability and efficiency for users moving terminals without using the command palette.
