Make the terminal feel more like the elementary Terminal #937

Problem

I personally feel that it is annoying to have to switch between 2 different brain modes when I'm either using the Terminal app, or Code's terminal. It doesn't copy and paste the same way and doesn't have at least a toggle for that behaviour. The terminal widget also doesn't look too great, and apart from the colour scheme looks to be the VTE widget crammed in a box.

Proposal

I think that the actual behavour of the terminal should be the same as the Terminal app
It should:

  • Have a toggle in the settings or havea small top bar with the same copy+paste widget Terminal has.
  • Not have an odd box around the widget
  • Potentially just be a feature and not a plugin
  • Maybe even be transparent like Terminal and be able to see your code beneath

And yes, I could just use Terminal but that doesn't integrate with a code editing workflow.
