Integrated Terminal For The MATLAB IDE


Dear all,
Recently I started working on a VS Code-style integrated terminal for the MATLAB IDE.
The terminal is installed as an app and runs inside a docked figure. You can launch the terminal by clicking on the app icon, running the command integratedTerminal or via keyboard shortcut.
It's possible to change the shell which is used. For example, I can set the shell path to C://Git//bin//bash.exe and use Git Bash on Windows. You can also change the theme. You can run multiple terminals.
I hope you like it and any feedback will be much appreciated. As soon as it's stable enough I can release it as a toolbox.

That further blurs the line with VS Code.

Cool idea. As somebody who bounced between Mac Terminal, VS Code, and MATLAB I see how this could be very helpful. I'd be happy to play with it when you've got something that we can play with; I'm not sure how to give you much useful feedback before then.
