i started using micro and its pretty great. but when i try to open the terminal within the editor

ctl+e

it seems to just open a whole new terminal window with no context within my document.

anybody got ideas?

    when i edit a file i will put

    micro test.txt 
    

    sudo can be applied after. i should be able to open a terminal within the editor and have it appear on the bottom. I should be able to use it to change the settings or style of the micro editor, but it just opens up a whole new instance of my terminal. (which is fish btw)
    i’ll look and see if i have any arguments to add.or maybe edit the config?

      I’m a bit confused. Your terminal is not Fish. Fish is a shell like Bash, which interprets the commands. Terminal is the window application. Based on the linked image, I assume you have Kitty as your terminal? And you want to open a terminal within your editor using shortcut Ctrl-e?

      If so, then I don’t know about this. I thought you want to run a terminal with micro as the editor from outside of micro, not after you started micro. I might have completely missed your point here then.
