Description

Description:

As a web developer frequently utilizing the integrated terminal for various tasks such as server management, script execution, project building, and version control, the terminal is a cornerstone of my daily workflow. A significant enhancement to my productivity in Visual Studio Code would be the ability to have the terminal not just readily accessible, but also prominently placed and pinned as the first tab whenever I open a project. This setup would synergize well with workbench.action.openEditorAtIndex1 for swift navigation to the terminal, and workbench.action.openPreviousEditorFromHistory for efficient return to the previously active editor.

Suggested Feature:

  1. Automatic Terminal Tab: On opening any project in VS Code, the editor should automatically present an opened and pinned terminal as the first tab. This ensures immediate access to the terminal for any project-related commands or scripts.

  2. Configurability: Introduce a setting within the user preferences to enable or disable this feature. This allows developers to opt-in for this workflow if it suits their needs, or retain their current setup if they prefer a different arrangement.
