Integrated Terminal

TrinovaQ Studio includes an integrated terminal accessible from the Terminal tab in the bottom panel. It provides quick access to development actions without switching to an external application, while enforcing security boundaries appropriate for a safety-critical IDE.

Accessing the Terminal​

  1. Click the Terminal tab in the bottom panel, or
  2. Use the View → Terminal menu option

Available Commands​

The terminal supports the following built-in commands:

CommandAction
scanRun static analysis on the currently active file
compileBuild the currently active file
helpList all available terminal commands
cls / clearClear the terminal display
note

The terminal is a task-oriented command interface, not a general-purpose shell. It is scoped to TrinovaQ Studio actions. System commands and shell operations are not supported.

Security Model​

The terminal enforces a blocklist of destructive commands. Commands that could harm the system, modify critical files, or escalate privileges are rejected with an error message. This restriction is intentional and ensures the terminal cannot be used to bypass safety workflow controls.

Workflow Integration​

The terminal is most useful for rapid keyboard-driven interaction during development:

  • Type scan immediately after saving to trigger analysis without reaching for the menu
  • Type compile to build without switching focus from the editor
  • Type help at any time to review available commands
