This PR adds the ability to open local terminals when working in remote
projects. When working in a remote (often actually remoting into a local
container) I always need to run separate terminals outside Zed so I can
run local build tools, scripts, agents, etc. for the related project.
I'd like to be able to run all of these in the same Zed window and this
adds that ability via one-off local terminals.
## Changes
Adds an optional `local` parameter to terminal commands. When set to
`true`, creates a local shell on your machine instead of connecting to
the remote.
### Implementation
- Added `force_local` parameter to terminal creation logic
- Created `create_local_terminal()` method that bypasses remote client
- Updated terminal actions (`NewTerminal`, `NewCenterTerminal`) to
accept optional `local: bool` field (defaults to `false`)
### Usage
**Via keybinding:**
```json
{
"bindings": {
"cmd-t": "workspace::NewCenterTerminal",
"cmd-T": ["workspace::NewCenterTerminal", { "local": true }]
}
},
{
"context": "Terminal",
"bindings": {
"cmd-n": "workspace::NewTerminal",
"cmd-N": ["workspace::NewTerminal", { "local": true }],
},
},
```
**Behavior:**
- Default terminal commands continue to work as before (remote in remote
projects, local in local projects)
- The `local` parameter is optional and defaults to `false`
Release Notes:
- Added support for opening local terminals in remote projects via
`local` parameter on terminal commands.
