Hi Andrew,

Two thumbs up - I think this is a really useful teaching aid. A couple of questions:

1. Is it possible to make it bidirectional? For example, if I rename a file in the GUI view by clicking and typing in a new name, can "mv abc.dat xyz.dat" be echoed into the terminal? I can imagine a lot of novices using that to figure out what commands would replicate operations they're already familiar with.

2. Are you able to detect file open/file closed events? For example, if I run 'wc *.txt', is it possible to detect that 'abc.txt' and 'def.txt' are being read, and make them blink (or something) in the GUI view?

Thanks again for putting this together - it's really cool.

Cheers,
Greg
