+# Design of the Terminal Plugin
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This document describes the design of the terminal plugin. This document illustrates how our research on personas and other
|
|
|
+solutions translates into the design decisions made to improve the Terminal plugin.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Personas
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Experienced Data Scientist
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Has a graduate degree in a technical field
|
|
|
+* Has been coding for over 5 years in multiple languages
|
|
|
+* Have used Jupyter Notebook alongside a text editor
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Goal:** Replace the usage of Mac's Terminal app, in particular when running Jupyter on a remote system
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Some things they would do in the terminal include:
|
|
|
+* Run command line git
|
|
|
+* Run vim
|
|
|
+* Run command line IPython
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Student learning the terminal in Software Carpentry
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The student is a Junior statistics majorw ho is attending a cnoference which is hosting a software carpentry workshop. He has used
|
|
|
+limited MATLAB and R in his statistics classes, and has been introduced to Jupyter Notebooks. He hasn't ever used JupyterLab,
|
|
|
+but would like to use it to set up some data visualizations for his senior project.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Goal:** To use the JupyterLab to showcase his statistical findings with his project team and professor.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## User Tasks
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Users should be able to:**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Open a new terminal
|
|
|
+* Close a terminal
|
|
|
+* Close all terminals
|
|
|
+* See name of terminal in the dock area tab
|
|
|
+* Reconnect all terminals after a network outage
|
|
|
+* Increase font size of terminal
|
|
|
+* Decrease font size of terminal
|
|
|
+* Toggle theme of terminal
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Other Solutions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Should place "New Terminal" below "File Operations" because placing it on the bottom makes it difficult to find
|
|
|
+* Add buttons that close all terminals, reconnect all terminals after a network outage, increase font size, decrease font size,
|
|
|
+and toggle between black/white and white/black under "Terminal" heading
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+##What user should be able to see or do
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Find terminal commands easier because it being at the very bottom right now is hard to find
|
|
|
+* More options to adjust the terminal visually
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Visual Design
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Layout
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Place "Terminal" commands under "File Operations" (Replacing the "Help" Section)
|
|
|
+* Add buttons in listed order: "Close All Terminals", "Reconnect All Terminals", "Increase Font Size", "Decrease Font Size",
|
|
|
+"Toggle Theme"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Typography
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Typeface will stay consistent with current typeface on command palette (Helvetica Neue sans-serif)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Colors
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Colors will stay consistent with current colors on command palette
