Add command execution in active VS Code terminal with Cursor being able to read results

Currently, when Cursor suggests running a command, it executes in the small Cursor chat/composer window which lacks interactivity. This becomes problematic when commands require user input, option selection, or other forms of interaction. The command simply fails to complete properly in the confined chat environment.

Would it be possible to add the ability to execute suggested commands directly in the active VS Code terminal instead. Ideally, Cursor would then be able to monitor and parse the terminal output automatically, eliminating the need to manually copy results back and forth. This would significantly improve workflow when working with interactive CLI tools, complex build processes, or any command requiring user input during execution. The feature would bridge the gap between Cursor’s AI capabilities and the robust terminal environment developers rely on daily.
