Run a script or inject text whenever the active integrated VSCode terminal changes (i.e., when a terminal tab becomes focused).
Features
Run an external script (terminalFocusHook.scriptPath), or
Send text into the active terminal (terminalFocusHook.sendText)
Optional regex filter by terminal name
Debounce rapid UI changes to avoid duplicate triggers
Manual command: Terminal Focus Hook: Run Hook Now (Active Terminal)
PowerShell arg from terminal name
If your terminal is named like CTM AAPI (hor-143), the extension extracts the text inside the last parentheses (here: hor-143) and passes it as the first argument to your script. By default, the script path is $HOME\\Set-CtmEnv.ps1.
