[!TIP] This extension is part of the stellars_jupyterlab_extensions metapackage. Install all Stellars extensions at once:
pip install stellars_jupyterlab_extensions
Navigate the file browser to your terminal's current working directory with a single click. Right-click on any terminal tab and select "Show in File Browser" to instantly jump to the directory where your terminal session is working.
Full disclosure: This extension does exactly one thing. It's not revolutionary, it won't change your life, and it definitely won't impress anyone at parties. But every time you cd somewhere and wonder "where am I again?" - it'll be there for you. Quietly. Unremarkably. Like a good friend who never asks for credit.

Features
- Context menu on terminal tabs - Right-click any terminal tab to reveal "Show in File Browser" option
- Context menu in terminal area - Also available when right-clicking inside the terminal
- Server-side cwd detection - Accurately determines terminal's working directory via process inspection
- Cross-platform support - Works on Linux (via /proc) and macOS (via lsof)
- Graceful fallback - Navigates to workspace root if terminal is outside the Jupyter workspace
Installation
Requires JupyterLab 4.0.0 or higher.
pip install jupyterlab_terminal_show_in_file_browser_extension
