Description Tulip 2026-01-26 10:27:29 UTC
SUMMARY
I don't like to use the setting to synchronise it automatically to the current file, due to preferring to keep my terminal in/near the folder root (due to scripts and stuff) along with it doing a lot of CDs that bloat up my recent command history and generally make it annoying to use.
But I also don't like having to manually navigate to the folder (either by manually invoking the synchronisation to the current file while having a file in the root of the project open or by CDing there).
I think an option to auto synchronise the terminal to the project's root would be a good solution to this.

We have a terminal in the project tool view that does exactly that.
I don't think we need an additional option for the terminal tool view.

I didn't even know the project tool view had its own terminal.
