Is there a way to have a visible console window?

[delinx32]

When I add a web app and a console app to my app host, the console windows are hidden upon launch. I see the processes running in task manager, but there is no way to interact with them. The console app allows the user to enter commands in some situations and that isn't possible with the window hidden. Is there a setting/option to keep the console windows visible and interactable?

No there is none currently.

Hi, are there any plans to make this possible ?
I have a AI Chat Console app and want use the benefits of Aspire Community Toolkit Ollama.
But without the possibility to into some "questions" on the console the approach is not possible

This is a cross-cutting change as it requires work in every IDE and in the core orchestrator

cc @karolz-ms @danegsta Is this something we would put in the IDE protocol?

[karolz-ms]

That would make sense to me. @LittleLittleCloud @rafaelldi thoughts?

[LittleLittleCloud]

Makes sense to me.

Sorry, somehow missed this thread. It makes sense to me as well. In our plugin we show all the process console windows, but they are in readonly mode. I'm not sure if this would be easy to support (because consoles in the intellij platform are a pain), but I'll try.
