Describe the bug

Hi, I love this plugin, it feels so much lighter and more intuitive than dap-ui!
I am a bit confused about the dap-view-term window to the left of everything else window.
For me, the dap-view-term window is just an empty buffer, I can edit it in normal mode, but can't run any commands and there is no output coming there.
I don't understand if I misconfigured something on my side or is it supposed to serve some purpose and if so, in which way is it different from REPL tab?

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like on my side:

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start debugging session
2. Try to run a command in dap-view-term window
3. Run the program until some output is sent to stdout

Expected Behavior

I would expect there to be some functionality to dap-view-term window that is not available in the REPL window

Not all adapters support the integrated terminal. For example for the delve adapter, I override the go adapter to start a delve session and use the nvim-dap-view terminal window to start the job:

If your program doesn't need to interact with the terminal (like chrome/node adapters), you can just close the terminal window with an autocmd on the dap-view-term filetype:

vim.api.nvim_createautocmd({ "FileType" }, {
  group = quit,
  pattern = { "dap-view-term" },
  callback = function(event)
    vim.api.nvim_buf_delete(event.buf, { force = true })
  end,
})

Ah ok, thanks a lot!

Not all adapters support the integrated terminal.

To add onto that, a (built-in) feature is planned to hide the terminal for selected adapters. See #10
