How to use WhackWhackTerminal instead of the default terminal?

CTRL-C on a line when something isn't selected should send a break (that is, cancel the command and go to a clear line) instead of outputting ^c.

At the very least should have a preferred shell executable to launch

The path contains c:\windows\system32 but bash.exe (or anything in there) can't been seen?

Please. :)

Currently a release build sits at 9MB, most of this is due to files that are unnecessarily copied to the build output. Trimming these out should reduce file size.

Is there a way to customize the colors? Apparently they're based on the VS color theme, but some colors are completely unreadable in the Light and Blue themes (e.g. yellow text on white background).

Would you like us to go and open equivalent ones, so the users are right?

In VS tool windows, the Esc key generally returns focus back to the previously active document. It would be nice if terminal window supported this as well since it's such a common muscle memory.

I wouldn't want to lose the behavior where Esc clears the input line in the terminal window, though. Perhaps Esc should be special cased to support both. If the user has typed input, then Esc should clear the line and keep focus in the terminal. If there is no input, then Esc could release focus from the tool window.

Is it normal to have to run Import-Module posh-git every time visual is restarted? It seems every time I restart, all the modules are reset

If I run a build or other build-shaped tool that spits output in standard
"file(line,column): error message" format, I should navigate to that position in the editor if the file is available.

When I opened the terminal tool window for the first time, I saw this error:

After issuing the exit command, the terminal window stops responding. I can close the tool window, but re-opening it returns it to this exact state. I guess I have to restart VS to get it working again.

When using Ctrl+\ ,Ctrl+\ to jump back to the terminal window from elsewhere in VS, the user should be able to immediately start typing in the terminal. As currently implemented, they have to tab once to reach the terminal before being able to type.
