Multiple Terminals Types From Terminal View (not keybind extension)

[chucklepie]

Hello,
When you go to the terminal window you get your default terminal and to change it you have to change the default terminal. This is slow and cumbersome. There are various 'solutions' but none are exactly great.

Why can't we have an option to go the terminals window, click the '+' key and it give a dropdown of the currently set terminals rather than just using the current defauilt. For example I have powershell, bash and cmd, like most people using Windows. Each has their own uses, e.g. in Windows bash is useful for git, cmd for accessing system variables, etc and powershell for doing complex work.

The extension 'shell launcher' is there but it isn't exactly integrated - you have to manually update json setting file and there is no gui option, you have to remember a key-bind, whereas my suggestion makes it intuitive and built-in.

thanks.
