Built-in Konsoles

Currently we have:

• the Konsole of the Project Plugin. It is automatically set to project root:

• the Terminal Tool View. It can be automatically set to the current directory

Development Process
We also have tools (the Build plugin) to build the code with a keyboard shortcut.

What is missing, is way to easily automate the "Run" part of the development with these properties:

• easy and flexible to setup
• as close as possible to the normal workflow of executing some shell command

Idea
One could add one (or later more) dedicated "Run Konsole" for a project:

• There, the user can configure the command line that should be executed upon run (exactly as one would type it into the console)
  • the command can also contain runtime environment settings
  • (A separate way to set the runtime environment would then not be needed, would it?)
  • (also, the command line can contain the change to the build directory)
• There is a default keyboard shortcut to execute this action
• To be on the safe side, the Run Konsole is always reset upon a new run

The good side effect is that the user can make use of the shell history to quickly re-run the command with different options when needed.

Optionally, it could be useful that instead of using the built-in Konsole part to launch a fresh external Konsole which can be maximized etc.

Basic mockup:

(the text next to "Run command: " is a LineEdit or ComboBox)
