Description Steven R. Brandt CLA 2014-10-31 15:51:13 EDT
The GUI terminal can benefit from several enhancements:
(1) Auto configure: The history commands needed to make the gui history work could be automatically installed in a .ptprc file, and sourced when the terminal starts up.
(2) The ptp command could be automatically installed in a ptp-bin directory.
(3) The ptp command should default to txt editor mode if an unsupported remote editor is chosen (as will happen for .sh files, for example)
(3) The editor type should be choosable from the ptp command line (e.g. "ptp -t=txt file.sh")

Comment 2 Jonah Graham CLA 2022-03-09 14:35:46 EST
The org.eclipse.remote component of the Eclipse Ecosystem has a new home. It is now part of the Eclipse CDT project[1].

This change means a new Git repo[2], P2 site[3] and Bugzilla component. The org.eclipse.remote will continue to be delivered as part of the quarterly Simultaneous Release of Eclipse as well.

If this bug is no longer relevant, please feel free to comment or close the bug. If you can confirm if this issues still occurs in the latest release please do let me know in a comment.
