State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

Builds upon #16170. This PR simply adds a singly type of non-terminal pane - a "scratchpad pane". This is literally just a single text box, in a pane. It's on the { "command": "experimental.openScratchpad" } action.

References and Relevant Issues

See: #997

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

I also put it behind velocity so it won't even go into preview while this bakes.

This is really just here to demonstrate that this works, and is viable. The next PR is much more interesting.

Validation Steps Performed
