Integrated terminal access through extension?

[hveiras]

Hi,

Is there any way to access the content shown in integrated terminal through an extension? I'm interested in formatting error messages o even explore the possibility of extending it so I can click on a stack trace and go to the line.

Current Terminal API doesn't support this, you can take a look at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/master/terminal-example/README.md to get an idea of what kind support we have right now.

It's not currently possible to get at the output or transform it in any way, here are some relevant issues:

• Cannot jump to file from Integrated Terminal #7321 clicking links in the terminal
• Expose more information about the state of the integrated terminal internally within vscode and to the API  #11422 expose more info
• Allowing richer integration with integrated terminal (co-processes) #13337 pipe all stdout/in through an extension

I'd love to bring link clicking to VS Code natively but it's currently blocked on the backing library we use xterm.js. There's a bit to do to enable this like fixing the linkify addon and then allowing it to hook up to VS Code.
