Platformio-atom-ide-terminal: Feature Request: terminal as drag and droppable pane item

[schlichtanders]

Dear platformio team,

Sometimes the fixed bottom pane the current terminal gets in the way...
It would be awesome if one could drag and drop the terminal pane into a different place (enabling right, left, top, down split views)

Do you think something like this is reasonable/possible?

For a widescreen laptop, it is better to have a terminal on the right, not the bottom. no space there

I love this package, but it's useless to me if the panel can only be at the bottom. In my case, having it on the right side would be ideal.

@danielcrane all such contributions are user generated, so its unlikely to be seen any time soon since #543,

You could try https://github.com/jsmecham/atom-terminal-tab its a node-pty-prebuilt + xterm.js so a modern though basic pseudo terminal implementation. (what this project should be based on see #426) you can place that terminal anywhere you like,

Its not for me, its not configurable, doesnt support things I use daily, though it may suit you/others better.

Please see https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide-terminal/pull/697 Pull request, it adds this feature. (Well it displays in Dock and optionally as is.)

Needs testing and feedback to dev.

Its OK to reply in PR if you have actual feedback on testing along with any details of your findings.

Thanks.
