Maintainer note: I'm hijacking this issue body, for issue tracking purposes
Main elements of shell integration
- Feature Request - Scripts Panel #1595
-
sendInputshould be previewable #12861 - Add action to bring up a Cmd Palette with your previous directories #12863
- Add an action to copy CWD path to clipboard #12860
- Add an action to "Open in File Explorer" #12859
- Command Decorations / Marks in the gutter / margin / padding #16599
- Recent commands UI #14779
- Automatic shell integration
- Experimental: add support for scrollbar marks #12948
- Enable marks for Stable builds #15057
- Add horizontal seperators between commands (do we really not have this elsewhere?)
- Vscode-style sticky-scrolling but with prompts #14754
- Draw a horizontal line / ruler between commands (read: blocks ) #17493
Related, indirectly
- megathread: Scrollbar Marks #11000
- Enhance shell autocompletion with a cool new user interface and shell completion protocol #3121
- ITerm2-like terminal autocomplete #6632
- Request: Right-click menu inside TerminalControl (w/ Copy & Paste?) #3337
- I'm including this because it creates a highly-visible surface by which the CWD can be exposed.
- Furthermore: Right-click on a region of output -> "Copy all command output"
- Right-click -> "Rerun this command"

VsCode impl
- This is where VsCode actually injects the args:
- https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/3a28d8d2e1044f2fe28f93076df911fd8fc9fd98/src/vs/platform/terminal/node/terminalEnvironment.ts#L114-L149
- looks like it's mostly:
- Is this commandline something we know how to inject our script into? If so, then inject the CLI args and environment vars

I'm tempted to leave this open as a megathread, linking the other things we have planned across the repo:
sendInputshould be previewable #12861WSLUser commentedon Jul 8, 2022
Also #6632
zadjii-msft commentedon Jul 8, 2022
I actually intentionally omitted #6632 from that list. #6632 is more about an autocomplete menu who's contents are populated based on the words that are currently in the buffer. The rest of these VsCode features are more driven by specific metadata in the prompt to indicate things like the CWD, the command that's run, where the prompt is, etc. One is something exclusively powered by the terminal, the other is powered by a cooperating shell/commandline program.
It's definitely related, but not necessarily "shell integration" 😄
[-]nice feature from vscode[/-][+]VSCode-like Shell Integration[/+]WSLUser commentedon Jul 8, 2022
Kitty also has shell integration for various shells. But seems to really intermingle with shells in a way that Iterm2 does not. Wezterm is also looking to implement Iterm2 shell integration from what I saw but nothing has come of that yet other than implementing OSC 7 quite awhile ago.

iTerm also has a really cool password manager that integrates with 1Password for example

VS Code has now enabled its shell integration by default in 1.70.

I know it's trivial but I really like the command decoration circles too...
khuongduybui commentedon Aug 14, 2022
And copy entire command's output!
