Integration in IDE

cmd.exe and other terminals can be integrated in IDE like Visual Studio Code or JetBrains distribution.
However it looks like the new terminal does not support that feature.

Expected result

The terminal is fully integrated in the application

Actual results (Jetbrains' Pycharm)

At least in Jetbrains' Pycharm, the terminal just open in a new terminal window after I set wtd to be the integrated application. Plus, said window opens in default directory and not the directory I'm working on

Please read about difference between a terminal emulator and shell.

cmd and powershell are shells that will connect to some terminals while running. The default terminal in Windows is conhost.exe (or csrss.exe in older Windows). The command window in IDEs are also terminals. Similarly Windows terminal itself is a terminal, too. It's not a shell so you can't use it in other apps

Well, I thought it was possible to integrate a terminal in an application (like nested windows).
If I understood correctly, IDEs have their own built-in terminal and wait for a shell to be called, is that it @phuclv90 ?
Guess I can close the issue now...

It's part of our long-term strategy to offer the terminal as an embeddable component, but this isn't the way it's going to work. Additionally, JetBrains can take a dependency on the pseudoconsole API and in so doing host a terminal in the same way we do.
