Integrated terminal needs to be closed in memory not just visually.

[bastienJS]

• VSCode Version: 1.2.0
• OS Version: Windows 10 x64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the integrated terminal
2. Run "ng serve" which starts a process
3. Close the terminal by clicking on the right-top X
4. Open terminal again
5. Everything is like before, I can NOT enter anything in the terminal.
6. How am I assumed to cancel the current process to enter something new like ng build, ng test, or any other tool?
   6.5 At the moment I have always to restart vscode :/
7. WebStorm has a red square button for that feature :-)

Do you mean you want to run multiple processes at once? #6458 will probably solve this.

@Tyriar I thought about this issue again. Actually its enough for me, if I could enter text into the terminal when there is a process runnung. Its just I can not type anything when "ng serve" is done. I followed your link and found your statement:

"I think pretty early on we will get the feature request to support multiple terminals. As soon as you run a program from the terminal, you cannot use it anymore."

Right, you can not use it anymore, thats my problem. Its a fire and forget terminal ;-)
Multiple terminal sound logical then to me.

@bastienJS ng serve continues to run though, so the terminal is not supposed to have control until the process is terminated??

[bastienJS]

@Tyriar Well I just would like to have it like it worked in WebStorm. There a integrated terminal has an exit button terminating the process within the terminal :-)

I think there are even 2 use cases:

1. Exit an always running process within a integrated terminal to run something different
2. Start another process in the same/another terminal in parallel.

Ah ok, yeah I think I'll close this in favor of #6458. That will include a UI where you can kill terminal instances.
