SendCode with new Windows Terminal

[musm]

How can I setup SendCode to work with the new Windows Terminal? Could we support this configuration.

What is the new Windows Terminal?

Do you know if its' possible? I switched from ConEmu to Windows Terminal and deeply miss using SendCode

[randy3k]

I did some researches and found no way to send things to the new terminal.

[musm]

Do you think you could open an issue at https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal/issues ? They have been pretty responsive and active.

[musm]

In particular, what's the API needed to accomplish this change.

[randy3k]

We basically need a way to send code to the active tab of the terminal.
And if I recall correctly, Terminal doesn't support bracketed paste mode, which will make a lot of things broken.

So in order to make it work, in short, we need

1. a way to send text to the terminal
2. bracketed paste mode.

I opened an issue microsoft/terminal#5873

For reference microsoft/terminal#3799

It appears as though this has been implemented recently, see the "sendInput" feature here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.3.2382.0.

[randy3k]

It seems that we still need a way to trigger the action programmatically.

Does that help at all?

No, it does not. sendInput is for Terminal generating input into a client application.
