Use CMD like terminal inside Espressif_IDE IDE

[marcusob]

Hi

I would like to know how I can type and interact with the command like environment running Espressif_IDE in Windows 10 . I can build, watch serial etc, but cant seem to use the terminal.

I do this

1. Click on menu bar - Window -> Show View -> Terminal
2. Go down to the terminal windows and click on "Launch Terminal" icon
3. Select from Choose Terminal : ESP-IDF Terminal and Encoding : UTF-8, hit OK
4. The following prompt appears and some text

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1706]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

u:\Esp_idf_ide\frameworks\esp-idf-v4.4>

5. Now if I type anything it appears as normal, but when I hit return nothing happens

u:\Esp_idf_ide\frameworks\esp-idf-v4.4>dir

How can I use a command type terminal inside the IDE ?

Versions and Stuff
Version: 2.4.2
Build id: 20220308-1406
ESP-IDF : 4.4

Thanks
