Can you make optional add-ons for Terminal? Example: An add-on for Python or an add-on for any other programming language?

/dup #4000

Apps are already free to add their own profiles with fragment extensions. There's also some example profiles for various tools over at: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/main/doc/user-docs/ThirdPartyToolProfiles.md

Re-open this issue. This is not a duplicate of #4000. This is a little bit different from #4000.

Can you explain how it is different? "Add-in" means so many different things. What would a Python add-in do to Terminal?

As far as I am aware, Python is a programming language...

#4000 says to add support for 3rd party extensions. I want the add-ons through Windows optional features.

That sounds like a worse version of #4000 to me. If you want them through optional features (which can only be shipped by us, Microsoft), then why wouldn't we just build them directly into the Terminal in the first place?

I could maybe see how a python (or similar) REPL might make sense to ship a terminal profile with their package. I still don't understand how an arbitrary language would enhance the Terminal with an arbitrary "add-on"

Umm, I don't understand what you are talking. Can you simplify it?

  • Windows Optional Features are features for Windows, made by Microsoft.
  • The Terminal is made by Microsoft1 .
  • If we wanted to add "Windows Optional Features" to the Terminal, we could just build them directly into the Terminal itself.

I think you've got to better explain your request here. Give us a concrete example.

  1. and the community of course, but Microsoft ships it ↩︎
