Dev Note

this plugin based on TerminalHandler, It is the third type of plugin that is implemented through heavy hacking

cause terminator offically only support two type of plugins:

• plugin.URLHandle
• plugin.MenuItem which makes plugin functionality very limited.

After some exploration, I implement this new plugin type,
which improved the plugin capabilities.

Another plugin with shortcut support in terminator plugin
(through hacking way, cause orignal plugin no such capbility)
