## What it is
Terminus is a Sublime Text plugin that embeds a real, cross-platform terminal emulator inside the editor, supporting Unix shells and cmd.exe. It offers terminal panels or tabs, unicode and 256-color support, xterm compatibility, theming, and iTerm2-style image display (imgcat).

## Use cases
- run a shell inside sublime text
- open a terminal in the current file's directory
- toggle a terminal panel in the editor
- run build commands without leaving sublime text
- view terminal images with imgcat in the editor
- use cmd.exe or bash within sublime text

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text and want an integrated terminal
- you need a cross-platform terminal plugin with Windows support
- you want terminal history, unicode, and 256-color support in the editor

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another editor with a built-in terminal
- you need a standalone terminal emulator outside an editor
- you don't use Sublime Text
