if the forge shell only is possible to show when the forge shell is in focus then its just a fancy ctrl+space thing.

Should be able to call it from outside of the forge UI so it becomes easily accessible.

Challenge is though to ensure forge is in the right directory - but taking the current selection as the directory to ensure forge is operating in should be enough.

Maybe the shell command should show the path for current selection so possible to know what context it will be executed in ?

Possibly even provide a "breadcrumb" style ui allowing users to click on a path segment to choose at what level it will operate.
