As described in #151994 extensions have to have special knowledge about the interactive window URI in order to handle things like inserting new cells and intellisense.
This issue is to:
- Eliminate URI parsing in extensions and language servers
- Eliminate the usage of a command to create an interactive window
- Propose an API for creating interactive windows (based on the 'interactive.open' command used now)
- Propose an API for adding new cells into the history
- Change the current notebook API to include the special 'input' cell as part of the interactive notebook.
// Under vscode.workspace namespace
/**
* Creates a new interactive window
* @param resource interactive resource uri
* @param title title of the editor
* @param initialController controller to start with
* @param options options for viewing
*/
export function openInteractiveWindow(resource?: Uri, title?: string, initialController?: NotebookController, options?: { viewColumn?: ViewColumn; preserveFocus?: boolean }): Thenable<NotebookDocument>;
// Under vscode.NotebookEdit class
/**
* Utility to create an edit that adds to an interactive window
* @param newCells the new cells
*/
static addInteractiveCells(newCells: NotebookCellData[]): NotebookEdit;Additionally the notebook API for the interactive window should include the input box in its list of cells.
