Pinning a Terminal

See Also 

You can save settings for a terminal session for a local or remote host by pinning it and specifying a title and a working directory when prompted. Thereafter, each time you open a terminal the IDE uses these settings for the terminals even if you have restarted the IDE.

The terminal window must already be open on the local host, or connected to a remote host before you pin it. The IDE enables you to specify a custom title and the current working directory for the pinned terminal.

To pin a terminal window:

  1. Open a terminal window as described in Opening a Terminal Window for a Build Host.
  2. Right-click inside the terminal window and choose Pin Tab.
  3. In the Pin Tab dialog, select the Custom checkbox if you want to set the title, and type a new title.
  4. In the Directory field, type the path that you want to use as the current working directory when this terminal starts.
  5. Click OK.

The hostname, terminal title, and working directory are saved in your user settings so that the IDE can reuse them when you open a terminal window.

When you no longer want to use these settings, you can unpin the terminal.
