Thank you for this great extension. I'm a statistician and not a programmer, and I'd like to make a suggestion. If this is inappropriate, please direct me to the best channel for asking and delete the "issue".
I'd like to use a separate R-process (Terminal) for every file, so this workflow is possible:
- Open R file and run source
- Open another R-File. Run line or run source opens another terminal with an isolated R-process
Goal is to work on two or more syntax files within a project in parallel.
With the option "use active terminal" this is somehow already possible, but switching requires to switch the syntax and to the respective terminal, the "pairs" have to be remembred and if one doen't pay attention, a command could be sent to the wrong process.
Is this already possible somehow or could such an option be implemented?
Thank you.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating VSCode-R's handling of R terminals and the existing "use active terminal" option; done means each file can run commands in its own remembered R process without switching terminals manually.
