build 1758 - improvements on built-in terminal

Post by mike » Thu Sep 08, 2016 10:23 am

Hi, folks!

Some good news on built-in terminal functionality in Nimble Commander:
  • If shell was terminated (via exit, ^D, etc), NC can revive it - simply alt+cmd+o back and forth to do that.
  • Some insets in terminal view were added, so it's easier to select text there.
  • Scrolling of terminal view is discrete again - fixed a bug, which was introduced alongside with overlapped terminal mode (about a year ago :shock:).
  • Shell is no longer hardcoded to be Bash.
    NC now uses $SHELL environment variable by default or a custom shell specified in Preferences.
    Auto-detection and integration of 3 shell types was implemented: bash, zsh and [t]csh:
    bash:
