@Tyriar
Is it possible to have in terminal features that exist in debug console output like ability to inspect/extend objects ala browser console? Also clickable links to code? Are they based on totally different technologies?

[Tyriar]

@whitecolor there is stuff happening around bringing the integrated terminal and debugging a little closer, that's the main use case for #9957 but we're only just exploring it right now (related #10574). Clickable links is being tracked here #7321, before starting on this I think the upstream issue relating to the linkify addon needs to be looked at xtermjs/xterm.js#27

[wclr]

Cool. Though that seems a lot of work)

[Tyriar]

Removed "Backspace, left and right in Windows integrated terminal cause prompt to go out of sync #7345" from the list as it only impacts git bash and is certainly an upstream issue.

Closing this off, no longer needed for tracking.
