Description
This would have the huge advantage that you could easily navigate directories with fman, seeing what's inside them, yet at the same time you would be able to run commands.
Unfortunately, implementing a terminal emulator is a large task, and it will be difficult to do so well that it actually yields benefits over the many existing Terminal integrations / solutions.
Several users (in particular people who used FAR) have been very keen on this feature. I'm quite strongly against it, because it is a monumental task, will suck in comparison to "actual" terminals at the end of the day, and (imho) doesn't provide that much added benefit over using F9 and F11 in fman with a little bit of Alt-Tab.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reviewing fman's existing F9 and F11 terminal integrations and the surrounding application architecture; done would require a usable embedded terminal that also supports navigating directories in fman, but the issue does not define a narrower scope or acceptance criteria.
