Feature Request: Passing input from cerebro to STDIN

[appetrosyan]

Would be nice if the plugin would allow for passing input to stdin of command.

Because of that you can't run sudo pacman -Syu. For one sudo expects input to stdin, plus pacman will ask for confirmation as will any package manager for any distro.

you could use gksu @appetrosyan but anyway it could be really cool to be able to use stdin so +1

[appetrosyan]

Pkexec works too, problem is, a program that asks a simple yes/no question will be unusable.

I think instead of trying to develop whole new terminal emulator inside the cerebo it could be easier just to open up a new terminal session by this way it could be cool to use ssh sessions as well fired from the cerebo. In synapse i used to use such a feature

+1 for @NikosEfthias solution. I'd just add some shortcut (like cmd/ctrl/whatever+enter) that opens default terminal emulator with entered input.

@KELiON do we need to get something after you merged the changes or does cerebo updates automatically ?

@NikosEfthias merged what? It is not implemented yet, but Cerebro has plugin autoupdates system
