Allow to pass arguments to external terminal

[FFY00]

It's pretty much what was said in the title. VS Code doesn't seem to allow us to invoke an external terminal with a set of arguments.

They are already being invoked with a set of arguments, I recommend creating an extension if you need to tweak this further.

We try to keep VS Code lean and we think the functionality you're asking for is great for a VS Code extension. Maybe you can already find one that suits you in the VS Code Marketplace. Just in case, in a few simple steps you can get started writing your own extension. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

What kind of arguments? How does that work if every terminal has its own arguments? I'm not following.

[Tyriar]

@FFY00 these are the arguments passed on Windows for example:

You understand what I am asking is to allow us to use custom arguments in external terminals, right? I don't know why the integrated-terminal label was added.

[Tyriar]

@FFY00 yes. There is no label for the external terminal as it's such a minor feature. The point I'm trying to get across is that it complicates things and is out of the scope of the feature. It can be easily accomplished with an extension though.

[FFY00]

Ok, even though I don't agree with "is out of the scope of the feature" I understand.

Thanks anyway.
