    "brackets-terminal-x.shellArgs.mac": [],
    "brackets-terminal-x.shell.linux": "/bin/bash",
    "brackets-terminal-x.shellArgs.linux": []
}

NOTE: Brackets preferences do NOT support comments in them.

Known issues

The height of the scrollbar of the terminal is less than the panel.

If you remove the extension from the Extension Manager more likely it will fail. At least on Windows there is an executable running so you will need to clean the remaining files by yourself.

This extension is inspired by https://github.com/artoale/brackets-terminal but built with xterm and node-pty
