If you ask me, this kind of goes against the Principle of Least Surprise.

If someone wishes to bring up a command shell from inside an editor, it is probably better for the editor to just bring up whatever shell the user has configured as the system default.

(Once that is pinned down though, we can think about memory-efficient ways of bringing up this shell.)

Thank you!
