What platforms does Terminal support?

Currently, Terminal supports Windows only. macOS and Linux support are not available at this time. Windows 10 or later is required.

Can I use AI tools inside the terminal?

Go to Editor Preferences > Plugins > Terminal and change the 'Default Shell' setting. You can choose between PowerShell, CMD, WSL, or other installed shells on your system.

Does Terminal affect editor performance?

Terminal is lightweight and has minimal impact on editor performance. The plugin uses approximately 50 MB of disk space and runs shell processes efficiently in the background.
