With this release, terminals opened on the host are automatically shared in the session, and they’re accessible by all participants. As a participant, you’ll see shared terminals wherever your IDE normally displays terminals, typically in its Terminal view. The CodeTogether view will also display a list of shared terminals—use this view to focus on your terminal, or stop sharing the terminal.
In this technology preview of the support, terminals are currently read-only for participants. Our next 3.3 release will include read-write support as well.
We’re constantly working on improving our IDE client experience to be as close to your local editing experience as possible. In this release, IntelliJ and Eclipse editors have richer colors that will more closely match those used in your IDE’s native editors.
If you’ve missed the workspace-wide file content search and quick open functionality when connecting to a session with VS Code, this release has you covered. Please enable the, “proposed API use” when CodeTogether asks for it, to enable not just these capabilities, but the Terminal support we discussed above as well. Until enabled, you will be asked about this every session.
Our CodeTogether view has received a significant refresh and presents a clearer picture of what’s going on in the session. Moving between rooms, managing the session, opening files and terminals, etc., is now far more intuitive.
