Hi,
If you're familiar with terminator or iTerm, you know that it's possible to type the same prompt to multiple opened terminals.
It would be nice to have the same option in vscode.

    In my case it's useful when I have to source the ROS2 workspace in every terminal. According to the number of concurrent nodes, I have to source them once I compile a single ROS2 node.
    Moreover, I read it has added in Microsoft's terminal as well: microsoft/terminal#14393

    This is a common feature in other terminals. I'm a little surprised that this is the first issue AFAIK that has requested it which makes me think it's very seldom used.
