When following the installation/usage instructions in the README, the step about selecting a profile currently provides the following guidance:
"Choose the desired profile. Press Ctrl to edit the profile before use. The item (Temporary profile) starts a terminal with a temporary profile."
However, when reaching this step in the actual modal, there are four choices presented. As a new user with no prior experience using this plugin, it’s unclear what each option means, and there are no hints about which option is recommended or safe to use first.
I stared at the choices for a minute or so before starting to test each one. What I wanted was my familiar shell, embedded in Obsidian. After testing the choices in order, the name darwinIntegratedDefault makes sense. But due to that tiny bit of friction, I almost decided not to bother.
Suggestions:
- Clarify in the documentation what each of the four choices represents, ideally with a brief explanation for each.
- For example, it would be helpful to know which profile is best for first-time users, which are user-configurable, and what selecting “Temporary profile” does.
- Consider adding a note about a recommended or default option in the instructions.
- Even better, the plugin could offer a sensible default selection or make the recommended choice more visually prominent for new users.
Clearer instructions or a built-in default would improve the first-time user experience significantly. Thank you!
