It would be nice that When the VSC extension is added, it creates an entry in the integrated terminal settings (terminal.integrated.automated.windows/mac) like: - "MongoDB": { "path": "mongo", "args": ["$Env:MDB_CONNECTION_STRING"] } Which I can't currently get to work. So that when I split a currently connected MongoDB intergrated terminal session, it spawns another mongo session with the same connection parameters at the same level. Also at the moment $Env:MDB_CONNECTION_STRING only seems to be set when the MongoDB:Launch MongoDB Shell is run, not when a connection is made to the a MongoDB server (connections). At the moment, if the user uses MongoDB:Launch MongoDB Shell, it creates a new integrated terminal view and doesn't seem to allow for a split view. See screen shot. PS - please sort out this text entry box, so it's resizeable, its not the 90's :) PPS - When I tried to submit an entry, with a JPG, the entry form came back with a "Sorry, we couldn't submit your request. So here is a link to the forum post about this request. https://developer.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/vsc-extension-mongodb-integration-into-the-terminal-options/106552/3?u=neilm
