Is there a way to get the new terminal to open in the VSCode integrated terminal

[tnrich]

Hey there,

Say I have the following command in my package.json scripts:

    "sayHello": "ttab echo hello",

And I run npm run sayHello from the vscode integrated terminal. Is there a way to have it so that the new terminal that is created is created within the integrated terminal instead of from (in my case) the default mac terminal application?

Thanks very much!
Thomas

That would be nice, but requires research to see if it's even possible.

It is easy to detect whether the caller runs in a VSCode terminal, but the question is what APIs can be used to request a new tab (stacked or split?) - I haven't looked; do you have pointers?

Assuming such APIs exist, the next question is how they fit into the parameter model of ttab; for instance, many options, such as -s and -w wouldn't apply; however, if there's a reasonable subset that can be supported, it's worth considering.

Also note that such APIs must be callable from Bash.
