It would be nice if I was able to grab my terminal from the terminals list and just drag it into the chat for model context, like we do with regular files. I just find it moderately annoying that every time I want to I have to click the add context button, and then scroll down to terminals and pick the one that I want.

Yes! This would be a big time and effort saving improvement for my workflow with Cursor. I usually run my dev server from a cursor terminal and constantly have to re-add it to context.
