I think updating the help text would be helpful. I don't think we can worry about translations. The nature of those is that they'll need to be revisited from time to time to reflect updates and we can't let that jeopardize doing the right thing. The source changes look good and behave as expected, btw. Thanks David! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Awesome, thank you!
I think this hits the right balance of:
- not login shell by dfault in most cases
- login shell in an easy-to-grasp circumstance that covers common cases (i.e. not a tty)
- easy to override by setting
terminado_settings['shell_command'] = ['shell', '-l']in config, bypassing the guess above in the circumstances where the guess is wrong (or just don't want to trust it).

A follow-up on #5565, with better heuristics and respecting overrides via
NotebookApp.terminado_settings. Cf. #5565 (comment) for details.I'm wondering whether to also update the documentation for
NotebookApp.terminado_settings, so that it makes it clearer what the shell defaults are and how they can be overridden. Something like:But AFAICS, this would also require updating translations, so I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
