Description
Hi! Now that Microsoft introduced the new "workspace terminal" feature, would be great to support them in VSCodeVim like Vim 8+ does, so commands like
- :term to open a terminal on a top side panel
- :vertical term to open a terminal on a side panel
- :tab terminal to open a terminal on a new tab
and so on. Thank you!
