Side Shell

A compact, integrated, and collapsible interactive shell terminal located directly inside the VS Code Explorer sidebar.

Features

Embedded in Explorer: Placed neatly under the Explorer view container (below Timeline), saving your editor and bottom panel space.
Interactive Shell: Full shell emulator powered by xterm.js and node-pty.
Status Bar Toggle: Convenient T shortcut in the status bar (beside Go Live) to show/hide the sidebar shell with one click.
Theme Matching: Automatically adapts to your active VS Code theme (colors, font, cursor, and scrollbars).
Auto-resize: Adapts smoothly when the sidebar or accordion is resized.
Toolbar Actions: Quick buttons to Clear (clear-all) and Restart (refresh) your terminal session.

Click the T icon in the status bar (bottom right, next to Go Live) to toggle Side Shell.
Or open the Explorer view (Ctrl+Shift+E) and click on the Side Shell accordion to expand.
