Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Explore the markdown viewer source code in vscode (likely under src/vs/workbench/contrib/markdown) to locate where code blocks are rendered. Add a button that triggers a terminal command when the code block language is identified as a shell language (e.g., bash, sh, zsh).
