We want to explore ways to increase the discoverability of the debugger terminal. The entrypoints we have today are:

• Command palette: undiscoverable
• Debug welcome view: good discoverability, but only if you don't have a launch config
• Scripts in package.json: this isn't the terminal itself, but is a common use case, good indirect discoverability.

Thing we can improve:

• Contribute the debugger terminal into the Run and Debug dynamic configurations. Good discoverability, easy and no overhead.

• contribution to ... in the debug view (august) deferred

• a separate top-level dynamic debug configuration for the terminal

• Kai suggested contributing a button to the debug terminal toolbar, in this area

  

  We would be careful to only do this if the workspace contains javascript files. @Tyriar thoughts?
