Is there a simple way to open Modus Shell from within ModusToolbox?

In a previous post, Zhang recommends to "Run command .... in terminal windows of the project." The image below that recommendation shows a Modus Shell command prompt within a window within the ModusToolbox GUI.  Reference https://community.infineon.com/t5/Code-Examples/PSoC6-CapSense-UART-Tuner-Sample-Project-in-ModusToo...

I can see how to add TeraTerm or Putty style Terminals. There's also options for Telnet and CMD/DOS type windows.

What is the process to open a Modus Shell type window within ModusToolbox.

I understand I can open a CMD/DOS window then start a Modus Shell using CYGWIN.BAT by pointing to ..\modustoolbox\tools_2.4\modus-shell\cygwin.bat.  Is there an easier way?

I found the secret handshake - obvious once you know it...

Within ModusToolbox, after creating a project...

Select the Terminal tab near the Console tab.

Select the Project from the Project Explorer Workspace.

The Terminal  opens into a Modus Shell setup within the project.

It would be helpful to know where this process is officially documented. I'm guessing there's other useful hints, tips and tricks to be found there.

Hi Greg, 

Yes, you are right, modus-shell is integrated within the IDE in ModusToolbox 2.4. Please refer to Section 3.4 Use integrated terminal in Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox User Guide for further details regarding this.

Thanks and Regards,
