I'm tempted to leave this open as a megathread, linking the other things we have planned across the repo:

I actually intentionally omitted #6632 from that list. #6632 is more about an autocomplete menu who's contents are populated based on the words that are currently in the buffer. The rest of these VsCode features are more driven by specific metadata in the prompt to indicate things like the CWD, the command that's run, where the prompt is, etc. One is something exclusively powered by the terminal, the other is powered by a cooperating shell/commandline program.

It's definitely related, but not necessarily "shell integration" 😄

Kitty also has shell integration for various shells. But seems to really intermingle with shells in a way that Iterm2 does not. Wezterm is also looking to implement Iterm2 shell integration from what I saw but nothing has come of that yet other than implementing OSC 7 quite awhile ago.

iTerm also has a really cool password manager that integrates with 1Password for example

I know it's trivial but I really like the command decoration circles too...

Since these notes seem to be no where else:

  • 58f7f0e836 seems to be the last commit for local tasks / suggestions.
  • 4def21a looks like it did all the actual business
  • there's a test file in 0c68bd1778
