Add Windows Terminal
This is awesome: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal
What do you think would be the best approach to add Windows Terminal:
- Bundle it with Juliawin (✗ extra 30mb, ✗ not integrated with host's wt.exe, ✓ will always work)
- Try looking for it on the host computer (✓ integrated with host, ✗ not necessarily available)
- A bit of both (give option to include during installation, but still try to see if host has Windows Terminal otherwise)
And how would you like it integrated into Juliawin:
- Add new launcher
julia-terminal.exethat will open a julia instance in windows terminal (and pass the command line arguments). Outside of Windows Terminal, like cmd, this will require a new window to pop-up. - Change
juliawin-prompt.exeto launch through Windows Terminal - Try some clever magic to integrate this in
julia.exe, e.g. do some introspection to see if Julia is launched from a non-terminal-like place (like from windows explorer) and then give it a default terminal of Windows Terminal in stead of cmd. If it is launched from a terminal, ignore Windows Terminal and just open it in the current terminal. This might require some extreme tricks to get just right.
I'd go with the first option as the main feature of JuliaWin is portability.
