Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
I'm a Surface pro user and sometimes need to use CLI tools without bothering to pick up the keyboard (although it's a mess to type with on-screen keyboard), but it turns out that Windows Terminal is not optimized for touchscreen at all.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
As far as I can tell, the following need to be implemented:
- Automatically popup on-screen keyboard and resize the window to fit it on touch.
- Long press to select/copy/paste.
- Zoom with finger gestures (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/3149)
