Feature request: “Open in Terminal” button for project folder context menu

Summary

Please add an Open in Terminal option to the project folder context menu in Codex, next to the existing Open in File Explorer button.

Problem

When working on a project in Codex, I often need to quickly open a terminal directly in the project’s root folder. Right now, I can open the folder in File Explorer, but then I still have to manually open a terminal from there or navigate to the project path myself.

This adds extra steps, especially when switching between multiple projects or working with commands like:

• git status
• npm install
• gradle build
• python script.py
• server/mod build commands

Proposed solution

Add an Open in Terminal button to the same context menu where Open in File Explorer currently appears.

Ideally, it would:

• Open the user’s default terminal app.
• Start in the selected project folder.
• Appear next to or near Open in File Explorer.
• Work on Windows, macOS, and Linux where supported.

Why this would be useful

This would make it much faster to jump from Codex into local command-line work without manually copying paths or opening File Explorer first. It would also make Codex feel more integrated with normal development workflows.

Example UI placement

In the project folder context menu:

Open in File Explorer
Open in Terminal

Additional information

On Windows, this could open Windows Terminal, PowerShell, or the user’s configured default terminal. On macOS/Linux, it could open the system’s default terminal if available.
