Restore Terminals feature

[drmrbrewer]

Given that extensions from the Marketplace are not available in code-server (see here), is there a "native" way to implement what this extension does?

I'd find it really useful to be able to restore all my terminals, particularly since I'm often having to restart the code-server host because of an issue like that described here, where I get a dialog pop up for simple file operations like add, rename, move... not sure what's causing that... I can dismiss the dialog immediately and the file operation proceeds without any apparent issue. However, I also find that version control isn't working properly in this state (auto detection of git history / changes etc)... so a restart is the only thing that seems to fix this... but I lose all my terminals in doing so.

What if the author published the extension on Open VSX? Then you could use it in code-server. Would that work?

So the extensions are in the exact same format in both places, i.e. no extra effort for the author (apart from pushing to two places rather than one)?

Exactly! I haven't published one on Open VSX myself but it shouldn't be too difficult. This might help.
