Description

More of a feature request than a bug!

Would it be possible to bundle a terminal/console window into the react native debugger workspace such that I can somehow dock the metro bundler output inside the workspace?

At the moment I frequently waste a bunch of time when reloading my bundle watching the RND output but not seeing a fatal error in the bundler simply because it's not in the foreground.

I have no idea how easy it is to put a terminal window into one of the tabs but I'm imagining something similar to VS Code - something similar to it's integrated terminal. And also imagining a modified launch script so you could wrap react-native cli script "react-native-debug run-ios" for example which would launch metro but inside a terminal window docked to the RND UI.

Possible? Sensible?
