Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2015-02-16 18:58:20 EST
When loading a file in the editor and pressing Ctrl+Alt+T , the local terminal should open up in the folder of the selected editor (if it is a local folder).

This would enable workflows where external command-line tools are used to perform commands on the currently edited file. Typing "cd" in order to go to the home directory if desired would still be possible, but not the other way round.

Workaround: Enable the "Link with Editor" in the project explorer, then select the respective file in the project explorer before typing Ctrl+Alt+T. This workflow is awkward and unexpected.
