Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a VS Code extension that makes the terminal feel like a flexible workspace instead of just one long row of tabs.

I want to be able to split terminals into a real grid with keyboard shortcuts, move around between panes quickly, and open a searchable picker of my project folders whenever I create a new terminal. It should be easy to set a default command that runs automatically in each new terminal, like Claude, Codex, Aider, or just nothing if I want a normal shell. Please make it remember terminal folders and sessions so things come back after restarting VS Code or a crash.

I also want it to work well for AI coding, so pasting screenshots and dragging files into the terminal should feel reliable. If needed, look up the current VS Code extension docs online and make sure the shortcuts and settings are wired up in a clean, simple way.

Are you gonna build this?
