[Feature]: Integrated Terminal

[rafugafu]

Problem or learning friction

Many times while programming I run some commands using the integrated terminal in the IDE, which is very useful. But if using MeadowPy I have to open a separate terminal which disappears, conflicts with MeadowPy's own window, etc.

Proposed behavior

Make a terminal pane which contains a full proper terminal which can run most commands including some fullscreen applications (terminal fullscreen not window fullscreen).

Where should this appear?

A vertical pane / sidebar / or even persistent subwindow (toplevel).

Alternatives considered

If not a full proper terminal, even a menu button or command or something which lets you type in a shell command to run and gives back the output will be useful.

Extra context

If this was done, the code execution might also benefit from being run in a real terminal - a lot of things which do not currently work would start working.

Hey there,

Thanks for writing this, this is a great idea and I'll be adding this to the project's to-do list for this week, I'll comment again when I have updates.

It seems to already say ✅ Completed for Integrated terminal panel on the Roadmap in the README?

Thank you, the terminal pane is visible and working. It would also be good if later you can make it a proper terminal which can run interactive programs.
