suggestion: option to reuse terminals

[chrisdias]

There is no API to let me see if a terminal is in use, so whenever a command is run we spin up a new terminal. This leads to a bunch of unused terminals to clean up.

Suggest to investigate an option that reuses the same terminal, commands are effectively queued up.

Might check docker-explorer as they reuse terminal sessions in that extension. It seems like they pick up what the terminal is named and simply reference that to find the right terminal to use...but I don't claim to know how extensions are written 😀

Is this a dupe of #74 ?

Consider a flag as to whether or not to show a new terminal. But it might depend on the command, e.g.:

Run Interactive
Run
Show Logs
Build

Might need more thinking.

Or experimenting

Resolved by #1245

@bwateratmsft are you sure you closed the right issue here? This issue covers several features as mentioned above in Stephen's comment including compose, run, push image, pull image, view logs, etc. Basically anything that uses this

Sorry, I was thinking about build which is resolved. But the rest would not be.
